Stop and reflect on everything that you come into contact with during only one day in your life. Every little thing. A coin, cooking stove, ink pen, tele- phone, a zipper, and so on. Now what did your great-great grand- parents come into con- tact with? What did their coins look like? What type of cooking stove would they have had? Had zippers even been invented yet? What about pencil sharpeners? In one week of your life what are some of the stresses you deal with? Have you found out what some of the stresses would have been in your ancestors life? How did they clean the house, prepare meals, and do the laun- dry? Did your ancestor raise a cash crop or animals? We drive cars and travel over 100 miles away, at- tend to business and be back home before cooking dinner. What about your ancestors? How did they travel? Did they live in a city, town or the country? You shop at a grocery store that is very different from the store that your great-great grandpar- ents used. It was the 1950‟s before self- serve grocery stores became the norm. What about your shoes? Just how differ- ent are the items you come into contact with in your daily life from your ancestors? Colonial Currency, Massachusetts, 12 Pence, 1776 Paul Revere engraved this note from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. An image of a codfish, which symbolized prosper- ity for the Massachusetts fisheries, is depicted on the front side of the note.
