Message Board Post:
My great grandfather Albert Carson, born in Pa, ended up in St. Paul, Minnesota as a
street car conductor, also took his young family including my grandmother, age 2, to New
Mexico during that time. My understanding was that it was the continuous trail of the
Carsons of the time to supervise the building of the railroad nationally. You can look at
the maternal side of my Stanch Family Tree to see the meanderings of the Carsons to escape
the only other profession left, mining. The Carsons land in Pennsylvania seems to have
been strip mined which you can see on Satellite Google. Sad but true. They were quite
prolific and the younger sons had to leave. My great grandfather only had two daughters
once the Depression hit. Good luck in your continuing search.
