Greeting Listers - Hope I am not the only one looking for US canal information. I am interested in the D&H Canal that went from ? to Kingston, New York in the mid to late 1800's. It ceased operation in the late 1800s and was actually FILLED IN in the 1910s or thereabouts. One of the major ?ports? was Ellenville, where some of my forebears came from. Names: KELB/KELP, KOPF, MILLER all known to have worked on the canal. I believe either the KELB or KOPF family actually lived on a barge in the canal at some point in time. Both families were originally from Germany. I am interested not just in these families but also the general history of the canal and canal life in general. - Joyce Smith Baltimore, MD, USA
