Refresh this page to see various historical events that occurred during Betty's lifetime
In 1944, in the year that Betty J Martin was born, on June 22nd, the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, called the G.I. Bill, was signed into law, pushed through by the veteran's organizations. Benefits provided for veterans to return to school (high school, vocational school, or college), obtain low interest home mortgages and low interest business loans, and (if needed) one year of unemployment insurance. Since most returning vets immediately found work, less than 20% of the unemployment benefits were distributed.
In 1953, Betty was just 9 years old when actress and comedian Lucille Ball gave birth to Desi Arnaz, Jr on January 19th. On the same day on "I Love Lucy", the fictional Little Ricky was born as well. Baby Desi graced the cover of the first TV Guide magazine with a headline that read ""Lucy's $50,000,000 baby" - because the commercial revenue from his birth was expected to be that amount.
In 1965, by the time she was 21 years old, from August 11 to 16, riots broke out in Watts, a Black section of Los Angeles. An allegedly drunk African-American driver was stopped by LA police and, after a fight, police brutality was alleged - and the riots began. 34 people died in the rioting and over $40 million in property damage occurred. The National Guard was called in to help the LA police quell rioting.
In 1972, she was 28 years old when on September 5th, the Palestinian terrorist group Black September, with the assistance of German neo-nazis, kidnapped and killed 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich. The attackers crept into the Olympic Village and abducted the athletes while they were sleeping. A German policeman was also killed.
In 1987, by the time she was 43 years old, was the first time that a criminal in the United States - a serial rapist - was convicted through the use of DNA evidence.

Success Stories from Biographies like Betty J Martin
I have to tell you a VERY special story about how AncientFaces helped to reunite our family.
For 13 years, I have been searching for my grandmother's missing sister. She just disappeared from the family in the 1930s without a trace.
No one ever knew where or when she died or where she was buried. My years of searching have just run into dead ends, so I had given up.
Today, out-of-the-blue, a young lady called me and said that she had seen a photograph on AncientFaces and one of the women in the photo
was her grandmother! Little did I know that she had left a small child behind when she died so young of TB. You can imagine our shock and
excitement at finding each other and a whole new family that we never knew existed. We only live one state away from each other and very
soon plan to have all family members meet to share our sides of "the story" and of course, many, many more picturesl
AncientFaces...... without you, this family may never have been complete and Aunt Grace would have been lost to us forever.
I hope you realize what a valuable service you provide and how grateful we are to have found you. Thank you!!!! -Lynda B.
I never knew my biological family. My family is my mother and father who raised me. But, as I got older I got curious about my heritage.
It took me years of investigation to finally discover my parents’ names. Well, I get goosebumps just writing this,
I have found my biological family because of AncientFaces.
Yes!! I did a search for my [parents' names] and was shocked to find a photo of them on AncientFaces! I cannot tell you the feeling that
came over me when I saw this photo - to see the faces of my biological parents…JUST LIKE THAT. I left a comment on the photo and you won’t
believe this - the owner of the photo is MY SISTER!!! Yes, I have a LITTLE sister! It turns out my parents were too young when they had me
and had to give me up. My little sister knew I existed and wanted to find me but had no way of doing it.
Thanks to you I am meeting my little sister for the first time next month. GOD BLESS YOU ANCIENTFACES.

We have found our missing relative entirely thanks to AncientFaces. We have received a much clearer photo of Captain Grant from
his Son. The picture we on AncientFaces is an old yellowed newspaper photo. I am attaching the new photo and ask that you take the old
one out and put the new clear picture in its place. With our Canadian Remembrance Day here in 2 days - the timing could not be better.
Thank You, AncientFaces. My long lost Aunt is now 86 years old and her Son and I are talking by phone and e-mails.
Captain Grant was his Father and died in France in 1944 and is buried there. By posting pictures of the visit to his gravesite - we
connected through one of his brothers. Amazing that our prayers have been answered. Thank you -Beth B.
I came home for lunch yesterday and decided to look at my email before going back to work. The weekly newsletter that I subscribe to
from the Logan Family History Center had this message in it about AncientFaces. I clicked on the link and the first search I did was
for Woodruff, and Mamie was the first picture that came up. I could hardly stand it. I was late getting back to work. I had to add
comments and write to you. Thank you for noticing her in the store and for the website. I can't help but wonder how many other family
pictures may have ended up in that store and why.
I also can't help but feel that it was meant to be and that there is a purpose that this picture is coming home as you say.
What are the chances of this all just happening?
It's amazing that you even picked it up at the store and then went to all the extra effort to post it. It makes me feel as though you
have been my friend forever. It certainly has given me a connection to you, and I have a love for what you do. I just can't tell you
how excited I am. I can't even hold it in. -Cathy K., Utah
I have previously submitted several pictures of my grandfather August Zemidat. I have tried for many years to find anyone with that name,
and I have searched many genealogy web sites to no avail. Recently I was contacted by someone who saw my pictures on AncientFaces who may well
be a cousin. She also provided me with information that seems to indicate her grandparents were my grandfather’s siblings.
Considering the many years I have been searching for the name Zemidat, I find this is absolutely amazing that I have finally found a
family member. Thank you AncientFaces -Ron D.
I love AncientFaces, a while back I saw that you had labeled Garcia surname pictures. At the time I didn’t have all my family facts
for my research. Anyway, I wandered into your site just to check it out
AND NOW 1 YEAR LATER I received a picture from an 87 year old aunt and guess what you had this very same picture on your site!!
(They were my great aunts and my great-grandmother!). Thank you… -Angela M.
I have loved AncientFaces since I first found it, it's the first thing I check when I turn on the computer. There was a time when even
in the most modest households there were three cherished possessions, a family Bible. a family album and a fancy lamp. It was usual
for the family to gather in the parlour, generally on Sunday and talk, tell stories of family and friends with the photos in the
albums as illustration. Sadly in our modern electronic age we have fallen away from the oral tradition and interest in history has waned.
I was quite shocked on the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic to see so many comments from younger people who were surprised to
learn that the Titanic wasn't just a movie.
This is why AncientFaces is so important, to me it's the electronic age version of the oral tradition on a global scale
and the sheer volume of people who follow, comment and contribute seems to prove the point. We are all grateful to you all for providing
us with this wonderful site.
