Climatic Clues-Our Ancestors Weathering
Their Lives by Ann Staley
THE RECORDING WILL BE AVAILABLE
FOR 90 DAYS AFTER THE PRESENTATION FOR MEMBERS ONLY
The weather plays a factor in how we handle our day-to-day activities. Our ancestors were no different. Hurricanes, tornadoes, coal inversions, ice storms, etc. played havoc with crops and lives. On the other hand, the sun and rain helped to produce the items necessary for subsistence. The weather, during certain time periods, could give you a clue as to why you can't find your ancestor; one reason - they may have moved. This presentation will examine the various ways our ancestors were affected by the weather including folklore, weather phenomena, climate driven migration, military conflicts, National Weather Bureau, on- and off-line resources, and more.
