But yes, I'm quite grateful that Karen is as interested in her extended family's history as the rest of us are about ours. She's got quite a collection of artifacts and photos on her extended family. Happily, she is willing to share.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-53425488022010774282018-04-25T05:17:02.438-07:002018-04-25T05:17:02.438-07:00Many thanks to Karen for sharing the newspaper cli...Many thanks to Karen for sharing the newspaper clipping with you and us. We have learned about Thirza AND something about medical care of the times.

And then to go there, to the building (when it is still standing) gives that feeling of reaching out to touch the past.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-72362744722316738362018-04-24T20:13:14.261-07:002018-04-24T20:13:14.261-07:00Yes she did, Kathy!

And Facebook groups like the one accessed by clicking on that photo are examples of online gathering places where history buffs like to share their enthusiasm for places and times remembered. I've run across other history pages on Facebook like that, reminiscing about old photos and stories of old places. You can learn a lot by perusing those pages.

Not everything is searchable online--the Lodi newspapers being a prime example--but a little crowdsourcing can go a long way in helping research the details. History and genealogy pages on Facebook are another example of the power of group assistance when searching for that elusive information.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-3487591790303964752018-04-24T19:34:30.806-07:002018-04-24T19:34:30.806-07:00Nice to put a person with a historic place:)Nice to put a person with a historic place:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-34039890256345089422018-04-24T11:13:36.488-07:002018-04-24T11:13:36.488-07:00Thirza led an interesting life.
