Community Engagement at the intersection of genealogy and public history
Observations, recollections, and occasional bursts of radical common sense about places that matter, books worth reading, roots music to nourish the soul, the times we live in, and whatever else tickles my fancy
When I find photographs or documents with identifying information I buy them and try to reunite them with their families.

Texas Maryland 
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.
