Reconstructing History & Genealogy: Mom's WWII Letters

Thursday, May 97:00—8:30 PMCommunity RoomGoodnow Library21 Concord Rd, Sudbury, MA, 01776

In May 2017, Corinne found her mother's stash of letters from 16 servicemen that she had corresponded with in 1944-1945. Most of the men were from her mother's hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, or from her college roommate's hometown of Trenton, New Jersey.  Corinne began to trace the soldiers' family trees with one goal in mind: to return the letters in person to their children. Learn about her on-going project, and hear some of the stories of the men, their experiences, and what their relatives have to say today. This presentation links history and genealogy to present-day research and diligence.
