Totally fascinating about how the railroads touched so many lives. So, do I understand this correctly ... the father didn't pay child support but his boys had to work all night long and then give their money to their mom? What is wrong with that story?<br /><br />I was also struck by how many in your family worked for the railroads and began to wonder exactly how large your data base is. I would enjoy a post on how long you have been working on your project and some tips on how to search ancestry online, some time. You are the master of the craft!<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-20880361150667994782012-05-05T08:37:46.719-04:002012-05-05T08:37:46.719-04:00Railways have made towns and signalled their end, ...Railways have made towns and signalled their end, but what a pity that Shenandoah succumbed to the arrival of the automobile.
