IS THIS WORKING AGAIN... SUSI SAYS
IS THIS WORKING AGAIN----SUSI SAYS
O Susi says lots of things. Whilte trying to get this back on line I have read some interesting materials.
Two books about early America before it was America.
When you are doing research, do you ever venture into Indian information and see if any of your data
coincides with theirs? What about when the rails were laid for the trains to run? Train developing history
in the USA has some very enlightening pieces of informnation for us to use.
Again, "Have you studied the weather patterns of an area during the time period we are researching?"
Sadly Lemon Grove Library had a set of Encyclopeida's on American Weather and when they remodeled they
dissappeared and I have not found them on line any where. Wow did it ever answer many questions about some of
my deceased ancestors and yours.
One time as a ship tried to dock it was blown back out into the bay 3 times. Sadly many died in this
incident. Did you know people survived better in the country than in the early cities?
In the cities people relied on others for food, water and services, in the country they relied on themselves
and their neigbhbors. As many places still do today.
Example is recent Tornadoes and how the communties helped themselves and others.
Reading where Apartment dwellings froze due to no heat, & Others starved due to no delivery of food.
Having 12 people at this class and it was an eye opener for us all. Personnelly having experienced these
types of needs and how small communities do not wait for help.
Learned to be a Volunteer FireFighter at 17. Wishing our communities would teach the teenagers the many
things that they could do to help in times of stress. First Aid for others actually helps them mature,
to realize you do not need to be old to be someone special and needed. It is something I think our country
has forgotten during this pandemic witch I fear will be with us a long time. Re adjusting how we live is what made this a great country.
Hoping we can readjust again and smile at each other, nod a hello. Obey the traffic lights, it saves lives and might even be your own. Genealogy has taught many so much about life so enjoy it while you can.
