The very last thing you want to hear from your taxi driver!
FAMILY HISTORIES
Have a look at some of my family histories.
Years ago a much earlier version of this material appeared as tree 5671 on Vol. 1 of the FTM Family Tree CDs, from whence it has propagated.
You will find portions of this material here and there on the web.
PICTURES
Take a look at some folks. There are some from Reading around the turn of the century, as well as some from Frostburg MD.
See if you recognize any.
TRAINS
Despite their romantic heritage, no one travels by them much anymore. Compared to other accident types, their fatality count seems low to us today.
This was not always the case. Several of my relatives were involved in railway accidents. They never won.
I have linked RTF files replicating contemporary newspaper stories about two of them, one in Reading (6.4k), PA and the other in Frostburg (35.5k), MD.
Also, you may look at a map of the Maryland site (47K) - Close the window to return.
