    1. Re: [KYJEFFER]Portland St in Louisville & the Stockyard Hotel
    2. Dear Kenny, If our families aren't related, they should be. There sure are a lot of similarities. From the Fredrick/Frederick thing to Portland St & even Jeffersonville, Indiana. My grandmother, Georgia Armstrong, married my grandfather, John Frederick, there. I've always wondered why they went across the river to get married. I'm thinking the lack of a waiting period is the most likely reason now. My grandmother had already broken their engagement twice before & my grandfather probably didn't want to take the chance of her backing out again! :) Did I ever get back with you about your photo? I've been so busy with both my jobs since last summer, I haven't had time for anything. I sent your picture to my aunt, the last of my Frederick family. She thought they looked kind of familiar, as though they could be related, but she didn't recognize any of them. Do you know if any place in Louisville, like the library or Archives, would have old photos of the area? Here in podunk Grand Rapids, the library has a collection of old real estate and tax photos that were donated. It would be so nice if Louisville had something like that. Thank you for the information about the houses. I appreciate your taking the time to check it out. Hope you have fun going through the old neighborhood. Roxanne
