She was an avid genealogist before all this modern day technology. Her collection of letters is unbelievable dating from the 1930's up to her death in 1965. She transcribed court records as there were no means of making copies. Some of her collection is available via the
Library of Virginia's online catalog. Search Helen Turner and scroll down to see the online material (survey reports of the documents in the home of Helen Turner).
I never had the chance to meet Aunt Helen, but am honored to share her passion for genealogy. Thanks Aunt Helen for paving the way and Happy Birthday too!
