Hi! I am canadian and today I am reading “A Single Tread” novel by Marie Bostwick. The narrative richly detailed by author is about New Bern. Motivated to find out more about New Bern, I search online and now it is included on my travel wish list. What an extraordinary historical beauty!
We used to have a train station the rails right went through the streets the station still there just not in use the last Amtrak train I think came out in like '70s early 60s my grandma was on that one the last one that was heading down for Wilmington was an event that was going down there
Baron Christopher DeGraffenried was my 8th great grandfather. I’ve always wondered if the Baron had any contact with his son Anton Tscharner DeGraffenried who stayed behind in North Carolina?

It'd be cool if New Bern had trams

Christoph von Graffenried sounds like an interesting fellow. I wonder why the American branch of the family changed the spelling to French.
