Grandma, Grandpa and who?

Holidays frequently bring relatives together for a meal or two. Distant cousins are discussed. Family stories are traded. Memories are shared. Laughter and tears are the norm. Who was here? What did they do? Someone gets interested in finding more information about the family.

In GALILEO, while at the library, one can use Ancestry.com. The World War I Draft Registration cards are on-line - these tell a mans birthdate, birthplace, eye color, haircolor and if he was bald! The census from 1930 back to 1790 gives lots of interesting information- who lived in the house, who the neighbors were, jobs, ages, literacy.

Start gathering those family facts so you can participate at the next gathering with new stories about kin.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
