In April of 1930, my grandfather purchased a new Chevrolet Sedan. Grandmother (I’d recognize that handwriting anywhere) made a notation on the bill of sale that the car was delivered on April 22nd and on May 2nd the car was paid for with a check dated May 1st, 1930. The name Charles Huckins, proprietor jumped out as I recall visiting the Huckins garage and car dealership that was located in Pittsfield with my grandmother some fifteen years later. You see, Nana Perkins’ had a nephew Aubrey Brown who sold cars for Huckins and I recall her taking her car to the garage for service. I’ve located a photograph of my maternal grandparents taken about 1930 or 1931. I’ll bet that the car in the background is that new Chevy!

When I began blogging in earnest last November, I created two blogs, one for Woodward Family Research (including variant spellings) throughout the United States, and the other “Anamnesis: Musings by Linda” designed to be used for a variety of topics. I’ve learned that “Anamnesis” is too diverse! Consequently, the blog has been split into three addition segments: 1) My Family Research; 2) North Georgia Research (families and Cherokee of North Georgia), and 3) Crafty Lady (scrapbooking, quilting and other crafts). “Anamnesis” will be reserved for my love of nature, and other items that interest me…it will still be a catchall.

This blog will contain documented research on my many ancestors.
