hi, my name is rose. i'm looking for ifo on james eaton who was born on the cannal in 1908. hes my father, and i know just little about his family. he was 60 when i was born, i woud really like to explain to my children more about the amily i 'm from. his fathers name was charles and hs mother was elizabeth, not sure of her maiden name. i do have some great stories though. if any one can direct me that woud be great, this is as close as i could come to anything geneological on the cannal I do know of some boos with qoutes and stories in them from my father and the park ranger at the western maryland train station knew alot about him but thought i was nuts because of my age, im 31. I would also be intereted to hear from anyone my age this realted to cannal history. Iwas ponce told that the surname eaton meant river bank and i alwys loved that idea, hopes its true thank you
