The best we can tell, most of my ancestors were still in Europe during the Civil War ... except possibly a few Cherokees (still undetermined) Some of my wife's ancestors here, including the Cherokees, date back to just after the Revolutionary War. All of my grandparents and great uncles and aunts, as far as I know, were Europeans whose families arrived between 1880 and 1920. My parents and my uncles were born in Boston and Philly. Some of my maternal grandmother's people may have been down there on St George Island during the civil war but they were probably smugglers ;-) That whole area of Southern Md was a hotbed of spies, smugglers and confederate sympathizers. They were more closely aligned with Virginia than the union. I drove out to Pt. Lookout Park last month with my father in law. I hadn't driven out there in probably a decade. There's a toll gate now, and it cost a few bucks to get in...but at least the money is being spent out there making modest improvements to the site. Saw a couple of guys fishing off the land there and looked in their buckets...they were catching decent-sized croakers. The drive out there, no matter which route you take (we drove out via Leonardtown), is still very nice and rural. -- Republicans . . . the anti-immigrant, anti-contraception, anti-student, anti-middle class, pro-impeachment party that shut down the government last year for no reason. |

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. -- Republicans . . . the anti-immigrant, anti-contraception, anti-student, anti-middle class, pro-impeachment party that shut down the government last year for no reason. |
