Before modern technology, to communicate with their loved ones back home once they immigrated, people wrote long and engaging letters depicting their new lives. This genealogy session Lori Lander Murphy will take a look at the Curtis Family Letters.
The mid-1800s letters were written between mothers, sisters, brothers, uncles, and cousins of the Curtis family, between Ireland and Pennsylvania. These letters tell the stories of hardship and famine alongside opportunity and strength, as a family strives to maintain its connections from thousands of miles away.
