Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, NEAL, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties.
With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

Wordless Wednesday - A Little Booklet of Advice
Front cover and title page of booklet I found last summer at the home of my 91 year-old aunt in NC.
Read them. They remind me of articles regularly in black newspapers during that same time period. Reading some of them, I had to wonder if Nannie had been driving through my community lately.
Aren't you going to tell us what the 24 things are???
ReplyDeleteI have seen this booklet among my 100 year old cousin's books.
