Inside the Baltimore Orioles clubhouse with beat reporter Brittany Ghiroli.
I enjoyed looking at the photos and reading of the past. My family lived in Texas Md. and i am still trying to find their past.My grand mother was Lena Parks and i understand her Uncle was the Treasurer at some time around 1903.I would like to know what Mr. Parks first name was. My grandfather was Peter Parks , i believe i have that correct. His father owned property in Texas MD.
Lena (Philena) Parks was married to William Chaffman. Peter Parks was Lena’s father. His brother (Lena’s uncle), William Parks (1826-1911) was the Baltimore County Treasurer.
