My family on my father's mother's side were the founders of Burlington Vermont 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇲 and the famous Snowflake Bentley is also one of my ancestors ❤ we have some of the original prints of the snowflakes and we donated many more to the museum in Jericho VT. I absolutely love my family history ❤️🇺🇲❤️

I grew up in North Vancouver, Canada in a new develpment called Windsor park. At that time (early 60's) there were only a few streets, We were on Plymouth Drive but the house behind us was on Hartford Cresecent. So it was more than interesting to find out I'm a direct descendent of William Kelsey, one of the Hooker 100.

there is no mentiion of st. anthony of padua church on acushnet avenue, started in 1902 and completed in 1912. st. anthony's is an major parish started by a tight-knit community of french community. the makers of this video should be ashamed of forgetting such a generous, well-loved parish with a wonderful history in the community!

Well, I truly appreciate the history lesson, you are truly not showing the devastation and the horrible neighborhoods that are in Waterbury now. It is an utter shame that the city has turned into a slum for the most part. You are only showing the areas in the city that are nice. Areas that are not so nice you have vague pictures.

This was a great video. I still live in Lowell, Ma. We have a rich history here in Lowell. Our mill city was the 1st of its kind here in America. My family came here from Canada and lived in Little Canada. Both of my grandmothers worked in the mills and became friends. My parents met when they were babies. Now I am raising my family here. I am a Lowell girl at❤

@@beachside1Not my direct line. The first Pardee who came to New Haven had two sons who continued the line:Joseph, who moved to West Haven, from which my direct line moved to Orange, and George, who moved to East Haven, whose descendants are the source of many places that today bear the Pardee name. A lot of history indeed!

Impressive slideshow... trying to imagine a better historical soundtrack instead of the synthesized sounding harpish guitar and electronic almost whale sound echoes... Too many kinds of ethnic and pop-periods music to be fairly representational, so maybe clocks ticking.. metal-machinery noises, splashing river water.. clanking trolleys, traffic sounds, the squeak of the Elton Hotel revolving door, multidenominational church echoes in English, Latin and more; bells and chimes, many footsteps and multi-accented voices in crowds, laughter, applause, higher speed sounds of traffic leaving town.

The Community College of Vermont (CCV) was labeled as an electrical company, otherwise a very nice job.
