Mom’s WWII Letters: Reconstructing History & Genealogy—with Corinne Smith, Tuesday, May 7th from 6:30-8:00pm. In May 2017, Corinne Smith found her mother’s stash of more than 100 letters from 16 servicemen she had corresponded with in 1944-1945. Corinne began to trace the soldiers’ family trees with one goal in mind: to return the letters in person to their children. This presentation links history and genealogy to present-day research and diligence. It revisits a time that we may not want to forget—and it may prompt others to wonder what treasures lurk in their own old family boxes, and how they can share the information with others. This program is free, and open to the public. Funding for this program was provided by the WSAC. The West Springfield Public Library is located at 200 Park Street.
