FINDING NUGGETS IN LETTERS 
Personal letters are valuable primary sources in genealogical research.  These gems provide family connections and historical context.  Discover where to find personal letters, how to organize them, and how to mine them for gold nuggets and additional clues.  Compare information gleaned from letters with other records and documents.

 

Sue Gover-Lee's passion for familyhistory was ignited by her maternal and paternal grandmothers along with her parents. As a middle and high school student, she talked with adults in the community and was fascinated by the rich hometown history and family stories.

Locally, genealogy affiliations include Collin County Genealogical Society, Dallas Genealogical Society, Genealogy Friends of Plano Libraries, and Mary Shirley McGuire NSDAR Chapter. Across the country, memberships include the New York Genealogical & Biograpical Society, National Genealogical Society, and Welles Family Association. Family history research interests span geographies (USA-NY and CT, Canada, UK, South Korea), technology (DNA data and AI utilization), and family records preservation and storytelling.
