WELCOME DAVELL

Go to the top of the screen.
Click Search and put in Michigander (for instance)
we have discussed this before with regard to that state
as well as Texas. But a good discussion would be welcome
again, as we have new people on the site now.

People from Los Angeles are Angelinos, I believe. Often wondered about difficult names like
Albuquerque
or Des Moines.
