Got a wooden crate down from mother-in-law’s attic. It was supposed to house an old typewriter that I was thinking of using as a prop for our Explorer Party. For some reason, the lid was held on with a number of screws. When I removed them, no typewriter or trapped spirits were found … but something much better. … solid gold bars … also not found. Actually, I guess it was trapped spirits, for what I found was a cache of memorabilia (primary sources Abby Cox) of my wife’s ( @wendycox2428 ) father’s family. Seems like mostly from the late 1920’s to late 1930’s. Family photos. Letters. Makeup. Newspapers. Things.:

Licenses: 1935 Indiana drivers license. Free permit to hunt, fish, trap in Indiana for serving in THE world war. Leather wallet housing permit and various cards. Cardboard wallet housing driver’s license and family photo.

WHO ’S THAT GIRL?
Learn how supervisory archivist Rebecca Crawford used Census records to unravel a family mystery in this National Archives News Standout Census story: Who Are You? Using the Census to Add Context to Family Photos.
Unfortunately, I still don’t know the name of the young girl standing in front of the house, and I may never know her name, but I can firmly say that a lot of information that could have been lost for generations has been reestablished and can now be shared with living family members and passed down to future generations.
