Reconstructing History & Genealogy: Mom’s WWII Letters
In May 2017, Corinne Smith found her mother's stash of more than 100 letters from 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. No registration is required (but you can RSVP if you wish), and all are welcome. This event is funded by the Friends of the Westwood Public Library.
