That road is named after my family, on my mom’s side. They were first settlers there. First white settlers, any way.
Yep. I went there to take a few photos for the subway buffs. The el that looks like it would be built all the way to Coney Island along Stillwell ends abruptly there and the tracks curve away to a different route.
Are any ancestors buried in Green-wood Cemetery? Most of the Brooklyn families are.
