Did you know?
In 1921, in the year that George Leonard Cobb was born, in May, the Emergency Quota Act - or Emergency Immigration Act - was passed. The law restricted the number of immigrants to 357,000 per year. It also established an immigration quota in which only 3 per cent of the total population of any ethnic group already in the USA in 1910, could be admitted to America after 1921. Although the Act was supposed to be temporary, it stayed in effect until 1965.
Did you know?
In 1937, George was 16 years old when on May 28th, the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge opened to cars. Taking 5 years to build, the 4,200-foot-long suspension bridge was an engineering marvel of its time - 11 men died during construction. The "international orange" color was chosen because it resisted rust and fading. To the present, it is the symbol of the City that is known throughout the world.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here. If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.

I have been researching my family history since 1975. My grandmother, Mae Foster Powell was a great influence in getting me started. She was a fountain of information on her and Grandpa Adam's family. She had a great memory and she was a great storyteller. The amazing thing was that when I began researching census records etc. I discovered that she was also very accurate in her relating names and events in her family histories. I hope to be half as good as she was when it comes to relating mine to my grandchildren :) It was my love of genealogy and family history that began my writing career. I have published several books, She Walks the Night Winds, based on my fathers Cherokee ancestors and A Murder in Moffettville, based on the murder of my mothers first cousin and his wife in 1970. I am in the process of writing several more books which I hope to publish in the future.
