Some have requested information for South Coghlan. These maps/charts are from The Place Between Volume 2, page 80. We know they are not complete and lots of names are missing.
We appreciate the conversations that happen here, and we're grateful for the story bits and bobs that are shared with us by current and former area residents that can be added to Aldergrove's story.
Additionally, please keep in mind that when these maps were done in the 1980s and 1990s in preparation for Book 2, research options were not anywhere close to being comparable to what we have now, with so much material available online. These maps were done to the best of the ability of the (volunteer) book committee at the time, and were most likely based on memories, family stories and information that could have been gleaned from hard copies of materials available for access with physical trips to libraries and archives. At that time, some information simply wasn't available to the public.
As with any museum & archive, research is ongoing and new information is added to respective files. Every story in the development of our district is important, and all stories take time to evolve and grow, just like the community has done. Not everything that's being researched and updated by our small band of volunteers is on our social media, nor are all of the documents and photos that have been digitized.
