I am lucky to get an occasional email from Joe Menkevich. His radar is on duty at all times of the day and night for any news that might be interesting. I was reading one of his this morning thinking how much he reminds me of Shelby Foote the historian from the Civil War PBS series. (When he talks about history, it’s as if the people are still alive.) With that thought in mind, I opened another message from him this morning and found this information. No its not directly related to Frankford but it is about the era that many of our ancestors came to Philadelphia and eventually Frankford.
