2022 52 Ancestors week 5

Week 6 AT THE LIBRARY

I know the great value of the library, although I have not been to the local library since we moved home a year ago, but while studying for Families at War, a subject of the family history course offered by UTAS, I spent a lot of time at the family history part of the Wanneroo library. Where I was given access to photos that had not been sorted but placed in storage to be looked at at a later date .

I borrowed Many books about the 1st world war and sat and read articles that could not be removed from the library.

It was in the library that I read the sad stories about the great great great grandfather of 3 of our grandchildren.

But it had a good ending as he returned home and after his wife died shortly after his return he raised his 2 children on his own.
