One of my favorite bluegrass/Americana songs. It reminds me of my

Enjoy!

Nice.



I had a great great grandfather who died at Andersonville.



My wife's great grandfather was a Union 'doctor'. She found his

discharge papers while looking

through piles of 'stuff' left by her mother.



The best we can tell, most of my ancestors were still in Europe during

the Civil War ... except possibly a few Cherokees (still undetermined)



My mom's family was in Harry's favorite town, New Haven, in the late 1750's

from a cousin doing genealogy.







Mine weren't. My dad moved to the New Haven area in the mid-1940s to

work for his uncle and to open his machine shop on a part-time basis.

The machine shop became a boat/motor/motorcycle shop right after WWII.

I looked on Google Maps recently for the neighborhood where that first

store was located, and either I was looking at the wrong block or the

building the store was in is still there, but is now an autobody shop.

My dad moved his store from there about 10 years later. I'll have to

check out the old store site during my upcoming visit to New Haven.

Perhaps you couldn't find it because it never actually existed.
