The point of departure for this sketch was a question from my daughter, Ninah Hofmann of San Francisco, about the towns associated with my grandparents. In the process of writing what I remembered, I asked my brother, George, who lives in Albany, N.Y.,some questions and comments on any and all portions with his memories and views. These are presented in italics, and marked ‘GH.’ At times, I’ve commented on the comments, which are marked ‘AH.’
