As the year wanes

I have now added a silversmith-related transcription of McElroy's 1839 Philadelphia City Directory, to the thirty others on the site. There are quite a few familiar names here, but a good number of new ones, too.

I have put up a new build, having added 32 more craftsmen to the project. I am particularly pleased to include William Giffing of Geneva NY by his daughter's marriage to John Henry Parsons. I strongly suspect that Giffing is a son of William Giffing of New York City, whose son Christopher (already in the tree) was a well respected silversmith in the city for more than 40 years.
