7:00pm - 8:30pmReconstructing History & Genealogy: Mom’s WWII Letters, In May 2017, Corinne Smith found her mother's stash of more than 100 letters from the 16 servicemen she had corresponded with in 1944-1945. Corinne began to trace the soldiers' family trees with one goal in mind: to return the letters in person to their children. This presentation links history and genealogy to present-day research and diligence. It revisits a time that we may not want to forget. And it may prompt others to wonder for themselves what treasures lurk in their own old family boxes, and how they can share the information with others. |
