----- Original Message ----- From: "jasson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 9:28 AM Subject: [OKROOTS] dust bowl migrants to california > My name is Jason Holtermann I am 23 years old and attending college. I am working on my senior theses research paper. My grandfather was born in Oklahoma in 1920 and in 1935 his family moved to California. They like most other dust bowl migrants found work in the fields in the central valley picking fruit and so forth. During the war my grandfather joined the navy. What I am looking for is other dust bowl migrants or their descendants who came to California from the dust bowl region of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas. I am interested in the work they did when they arrived in California, the work they did during the depression, and the work they did during the war. Those who respond to this message please email me directly. There is no need to bother the rest of the list with my request. If you know of anybody or you subscribe to other lists that might help me please respond, I need as much input as I can get for this survey. Thank You, Jason. > > > ==== OKROOTS Mailing List ==== >
