“A family is a very special organization. It is the basic unit of all human life. It is more than Biological. It embraces the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual training of every person on earth. Some parents ignore these obligations, and the family pieces scatter and become lost. A family history gathers up those pieces and places them where they belong. Guard it well, for a family history is not only your past, but your future.” | “A family is a very special organization. It is the basic unit of all human life. It is more than Biological.

Fred Turner, the instructor for this class, identifies himself as a "History Scrounge,' meaning he finds old bits of minutia from the past not only fascinating but useful in family history. He reminded us that before the internet, the only forms of communication were telephone, telegraph, and postal service. This may include love letters from your parents, V-Mail, ration books, old magazines, and postcards. | |||
Turner described how he found an old wooden boxcar in Moriarty owned by the Crossley family and got their permission to go through it. The current owners said that the contents was a bunch of junk from their mother dating back to 1914. Turner showed photos of many of the items he found and explained how they are useful in family history research. | |||
These photos will gradually be added to this webpage as I get them processed to upload. (''Susan Heath'') | |||
