Nearly a dozen of my high school buddies live in the DC area.

DC is one of those places where most of the people living there came
from somewhere else. My father was from "dust bowl" Oklahoma but my
mother's side was all from somewhere in Maryland, going back to
colonial times.
My grandfather's people go back to the Hessians from Baltimore and
Anne Arundle and my grandmother's people all came from St Mary's or
Calvert county somewhere, up to ~250 years back.

I just dug up a bunch of stuff for my niece down at the marina in
Ridge.
