Lineage is a great description for following company histories. A genealogical analogy might be:
Eng 208 becoming Eng 167 ? descendant, as in father-son or mother-daughter;
TCU 712 to Lad 59 ? descendant, but slightly different, as in father-daughter or mother-son;
BC21 to BC31 ? name change, same person-different identity, as in daughter to wife to mother to grandmother;
BC27 in Brooklyn in the 1910?s, disbanded, and then reorganized in the Bronx in the 1960?s ? reincarnation;
So, following the analogy:
2nd sections ? twins, same family, same house;
82/85, 231/232 ? close neighbors, two family house, eventually get their own house;
BC 44-2 to BC 58 ? this is trickier, twin has son, son moves out and starts own household;
246-2 to 327 ? time for twin?s son to start own household, like above;
Combination fire companies ? married, divorced (E70 & L53 = CFC 121, then separate again);
Open numbers ? sometimes used, sometimes skipped, sometimes never used (Eng 322, Lad 139, Lad 141, Lad 145) ? still working on that.
Eng 72 ? almost had me stumped on that one ? Eng 72 became 41-2 ? father-son, son adopted as brother in new family;
Eng 72 ? reincarnated son born of 88-2 twin
It?s like a soap opera!
Does anyone out there have an idea what prompted the redesignation of the Fireboat Engines to Marine Units? (and why Marine unit and not Fireboat?)
