Thanks for replying, "hazel street". Since I posted to this forum, my family has found tons of info on our Brindle family, and I have moved on from the origin of the street name. Looking back at my post, it does seem a little silly to be curious about that. People have suggested that China Street, and other streets nearby, were named after the countries that shipped their goods to that area. I'm happy with that explanation, and moving on to more important ancestral info, lol. Thanks so much, though, for taking the time to write. And yes, I know what it's like to lose touch with friends from school. Perhaps you'll meet him again, one day. Thanks for responding!
