I know in our county when I look up a property address all I need is the street number and it pulls up all streets with that number.

After about six months, someone did get back to me with the correct information.

Even the U.S. Lighthouse service has one star on the cuff for 25 years service, and each bar represents 5 years (Gold service stars and bars)and they also have standing collars as well. I can't really make out what the other objects on his collar are, but surely someone out here in Blogland will know. It's surely a great photo, and it makes me wonder is that a child he perhaps saved or is it a relative? So many questions. Does the number 506 relate to anything in your family?21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.com
