Elizabeth, While visiting relatives in the DC area in May 2001 I happened upon an old Journal that was in my husband's grandmother's effects. It was going to be thrown away. You can imagine my horror at such an idea. I confiscated it and have been trying, as time permits, to transcribe the pages and post it to the Washington DC list and my genealogy website. There are 153 pages written in old script so it is taking awhile. My husband's grandmother's name is listed in the journal. So I'm assuming this was her teacher. The information spans over forty years. The information was not entered in year order. There is no title page or indication of who the owner was. I have come to some conclusions about the journal but please keep in mind they are only my best guess. I think the Asylum mention in the first of the journal is the German Orphan Asylum located on Good-Hope road. I am not sure of this however and there is a list on my website of possible orphanages. On the headings of many of the pages are what appear to be school names and the dates the teacher was there. I have made a list of all the different schools and it is posted on my website. I have also constructed a map where I think the various schools were located. I used the USGS National Mapping Service. The School location map is also on my website. I have no proof of who the teacher was that owned this journal. There is a name that appears on the top corner of several pages. Could this be the teacher's name? The name is J. T. Freeman. Microfilm of the 1901 Washington DC city Directory lists the following people as teachers or principals with those initials: Janey T Freeman, teacher, 1222 16th St nw John T Freeman, principal, Wallach school, h Kensington, MD http://www.tcarden.com/tree/ensor/TeachersJournal.html If you don't have access let me know and I'll send you the notes in an email Thanks, Trisha Swallows Carden Nashville, Tennessee G-ma@home.com http://www.tcarden.com/tree/ensor/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elizabeth Culhane" <eculhane@rochester.rr.com> To: "Trish Carden" <g-ma@home.com> Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 4:22 AM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] Teachers Journal pages 52 > Trish, > What orphanage are you writing about?
