WELCOME
Thanks for stopping by my website. I hope you’ll browse around and find something of interest—perhaps even a photo of a relative, a connection to your ancestral town, or to your adopted home. From my own home base on Elliott Island, I find meeting people and collecting their stories and histories has been a privilege as well as a pleasure.

From the late 1800's until 2010, Grant and Ella Parks's home survived on Holland Island, Maryland, where seventy houses once sheltered a close-knit community.
