UPDATE: 21 Jan 2015 – I received this message from Jennifer, “here is a link to the diary. I confirmed with my great aunt, it is her fathers.”

Yesterday, 28 Dec 2014 I got the following e-mail from my cousin in California.
“Help
Need to find family of Martin Rosenberg
338 Georgia Ave.
Brooklyn NY.
1919 diary found in suit case, third infantry Company 176 AEF
Relative Sarah Rosenberg
Same address”
I created a tree on Ancestry.com for Martin and found his 1920 census record which had that address; 338 Georgia Ave.. The other hint that came up right away was a family tree that had Martin on one of the branches.
I contacted the tree owner and sent them the above “Help” information.
Today, 29 Dec 2014 I got this message on Ancestry.com.
“Family Tree Owner name: Hi, Martin was my great grandfather and Sarah my great grandmother.
Jennifer”
It doesn’t always work this way; this easy, but sometimes I get lucky.
The timing couldn’t have been better because today is the last entry on “A Hundred Years Ago”; the blog about the diary of a 19 year old girl named Helena Muffly.
Helena’s granddaughter has been blogging every day for the past year telling us about her grandmother’s 1914 diary; e.g. “ 19-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today: “
The “A Hundred Years Ago” blog is a good read, check it out.
Maybe the tree owner for Martin’s family will do the same; write a blog about the above mentioned diary.
Thank You.
