I went to donate a photo and graduation certificate at the Ozaukee County Historical Society. They did not know the church or school they were associated with. The library was right next door and I walked over and the librarian found 2 books for me. I did locate that the name of the church was changed.
The most fun find though was found because of the index in the back of one book. I just looked up family surname and saw one reference, and at first I thought distant relative. I looked at the page it referred to and recognized the short note referred to my grandfather. It had a source cited, and the library had the microfilm. She was most helpfull and found the date I needed. After I found the little notice, and printed that page, I looked at the first page and saw a reference about President Taft signing the act making Arizona and New Mexico states. I was thrilled to find the reference to my grandfather opening up his harness shop, and extra excited to find the historical reference point.
I'm a happy researcher, and all because I donated those few items. :)
