Correction . my one trip to Detroit was in 1994, not '84. The years all run together when you get on the wrong side of 50.

Most of my knowledge of Detroit came from getting the Detroit channels when we lived in calgary ib the eighties.

I did some camping and backpacking in the UP, very interesting culture and landscape up there...and also crossed into Ontariao at the Soo, made it as far north as Lake Superior Provincial Park. The Canadian side Sault St Marie was substantially larger than the US counterpoart.

I can see the resemblance for both sides of the lake in terms of landscape.

The "iron ranges" and the copper range up in the Keewenaw was interesting as some of the larger towns like Marquette and Hancock/Houghton seemed fairly build-up, and then the strings of mining towns along the ore. Seperated by empty forest land...sort like oasis or islands of "civilization" in that sea of pine, birch, popple, and swamps/lakes/bogs (and granite mountains). I guess parts of northern Ontario are a bit like that.

Almost like a frontier environment, or what like you'd find out west.

Well..not Dayton, but yes, good memories.....

Post Any descendants of Thomas Griffith of Dayton 1800's?

[quote=maplelady;28785488]That Dayton is a transient area is a new insight. So often on this sight I read about how people in Dayton typically live there all their lives, some never having been to eben cleveland or cincy. Must be the two solitudes.

There is some indication that many homes in that neighbourhood are still original owner or just turning over now.

Hi, Maplelady, or anyone who might put us in touch with any descendants of Thomas Griffith who lived in or near Dayton early to mid-1800's. He moved with family to Indiana. My husband's elusive ancestor. We would love to hear from cousins, or any ideas how we might contact even collateral line relatives.
Are the Paul Griffith family still in Uniontown?
Really interesting forum! Please put "Griffith" in subject line. Thanks for any help.
Blessings, Jane and Larry Bledsoe jbledso@gmail.com or lwbcpf@aol.com
