Greenspace
Genealogy Newsletter
There are individuals
all across the United States who donate their private property to be
enjoyed as a public greenspace. Some donations are ambitious projects
consisting of thousands of acres that become recreational areas. Others
are corner lots, usually referred to as tot lots. There are
conservation and preservation areas, city parks, and county parks -- Greenspace Genealogy
is their story.
As a professional genealogist, I am inspired to share these stories. I
have been a contributor to Genealogy Weekly for years and
anticipate continuing that relationship. But, every time I share even
one of these stories, people ask for more.
