When we're young, we just assume our towns have always been there, then we learned that it was divided off from another city. But for the people and the buildings to just vanish? I'd like to say that sounds spooky but it just takes a developer to come in and exert some pressure! At least that's how it is now.

One of mine is trying to figure out what our family name used to be, because at some point in the late 19th century it was changed. Various spellings exist and no one in the family (parents or grandparents) are certain about why or what the exact spelling was.Jeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17266281.post-84718397383011185752015-04-18T17:23:50.922-04:002015-04-18T17:23:50.922-04:00Children only Stephen?
