Opening a File

I am down to one box now for the Fletcher Family. Opened a file and found these letters to my Dad from Henry H. Fletcher

One of the envelopes

A typed version of the Covered Caravan Diary. The one that Alice Fletcher Cann copied from the original diary. It’s in the upper tabs for your reading pleasure

And this! I have yet to read it, but will soon to share n this blog. Mrs. Carl Fletcher is named as one of the contributors of this historical document

From that letter, I found and added Edward T siblings and now know where Alice Genevra’s name came from! And where Aunt Fanny fits into the picture! Yay!

8mm Film to a Thumb Drive

After gathering all of the 8mm film in yellow boxes (parents) and reels (grandparents), I had them transferred to a thumb drive. 48 files. No sound. All from the 50’s and 60’s. Great fun to watch on my laptop. This took 3 months to have done and several days for me to watch and take notes. I am so happy with how it all worked out! 

Apparently my parents and grandparents weren’t too good about labeling their movies. So, I made a summary of each file so my siblings would know what is on it. And where to speed up.

I love this one!

They are just so happy! It was our ‘go to’ place for family parties!

Robert H Styll 1811-1890

Robert H Styll 1811-1890. Father of Robert Emmett Styll who is the father of Edson Eastman DuHamel Styll (my grandfather). I really enjoy putting the puzzle together and also researching family names. I might do a blog post on where their names come from. That would be interesting!
