aah, gotcha. typono IA means no ia in AstorIA... as in Astor not "Astoria"
You named him as John Jacob Astoria,correct spelling is John Jacob Astor. No ia in his last name. Astoria as a city is correct. My avatar has my home city and state. You don,t need to have lived in Washington to know the correct spelling of Astor the man. I trapped for many years,sold lots of fur in that time.Astor is a big time guy in the history of the fur trade,thus my knowing the correct spelling of his name.No insult meant,I thought you,d like to know.what does "no ia on the name" mean? Or is there a typo I cant figure out?
Whatpart of WA are you in? I lived in Seattle for 26 years
