    A Book for the Curious, Amateur and Serious GenealogistsDo you Want To Know More About Your Past? Volume Five of this series THE WORLD OF YOUR ANCESTORS - DATES- 1950-1979 is another time with many changes. It contains less years due to the amount of data included. This is a time of the baby-boomers, the growth of television, the emergence of teenagers and the Korean and Vietnam Wars. What is in the news? Who are the politicians? Who are celebrities and sport's heroes? What are the Broadway plays? What books, movies and songs are popular? Find average wages, house and grocery items costs. What cars are new and how much do they cost? Find the answers to these questions and more. You get a glimpse into life years ago or can go down memory lane. Knowing more about the world your relatives grew up in may help you understand them. Data might even help you know why you are the way you are. How we are raised, customs, our daily living routine and laws all impact who we become. This was a time when 18 year olds could afford to live on their own. You could learn on the job vs. being forced to have a college degree to hold that same job. Women's roles changed as they were first given the option of working and later forced into the work place when men were no longer paid enough to support a wife and family. This was a time young men worried about having a low draft number and students protested wars. The save the planet movement added wildlife protections, cleaned up air and water and recycling started. You have seen photos or heard stories, but now you can choose a date or year and really see what was going on. Looking back into time can be fun. You may be one of the millions still enjoying black and white reruns of television shows made during this time. You may be enjoying seeing later television shows and movies where the story lines are set in this time period. Depending on your interests, you have the opportunity to investigate countless top areas. Enjoy this mini glimpse into the past and see how things were different and how things were the same as today.
