Preparing for the centennial of his North Baltimore subdivision on Cloverhill and Canterbury Roads in Tuscany-Canterbury, Joshua A. Cohen set out to discover the history of the neighborhood. Using online resources to trace deeds and relations, Josh built family trees for the homeowners of all 84 houses. He gathered extensive biographical details of those first families and made connections with their descendants, who provided personal recollections and photos. Josh will share some of his exciting finds as well as techniques that residents of any neighborhood can use to explore the history of their homes.
