This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sullivan, Barry, Conners Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VNB.2ACE/674.1 Message Board Post: Carolyn, My family's American roots are in Butte and the surrounding area. Walkerville is just outside the city of Butte, it is distincting a separate town from Butte by a very short distance. Most of the people who lived in Walkerville (and another area called Centerville) were mine workers and laborers. It was very blue collar neighborhood as it was very close to the active copper mines at that time. Hope this helps. Terri Sullivan Biehn
