Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/2817 Surname: Valiant, Riley, Redman ------------------------- Delbert, I' d be glad to share with you what I know about the Valiants. I have copied some scattered info about the Baltimore City branch of Valiants. The Booz Bros. Shipyard would have been near Redman & Vane Shipyard at Baltimore Harbor. They would have known each other and were likely linked through Valiant relations. Have you ever seen a copy of "This Was Chesapeake Bay" by Rob't Burgess? The Valiant family spread out from Talbot Co., MD. There is a family cemetery at Ferry Neck in Talbot. I have no Valiant pictures but I have gathered some info, data, and a few contacts. By the way, the director of the St. Michaels MD Maritime Museum is named John Valiant. regards, Matt Redman
