48 Hour Ephemera Challenge - 'Newt' in 1953 Burbank

48 Hour Ephemera Challenge - Newt in Burbank in 1953 via 4YourFamilyStory.comWho were Newt and Mr. & Mrs. Godwin? Time to put those genealogy skills to work!
This weekend's challenge involves a postcard sent to a Mr. and Mrs. B.C. Godwin in Princeton, Texas from a "Newt" who happened to be passing through Burbank, California in 1953. And we'll be using every genealogy and family history online research technique we can think of to solve this 48 Hour Ephemera Challenge!

How did they know each other? Who was Newt? What was his last name? What was the "Port of Hollywood" that he saw? Who were his parents, siblings, etc.? What did he do for a living? Achievements in life? What was his story? 

And how did he know the Godwin couple in Princeton, Texas? Who were they? Did they have any children? Who were their parents, siblings, etc.? What was their story, and how did it merge with Newt's story? And what was going on in the world in 1953? What was life like then?

And do any of them have any living descendants who we can return this postcard to?

Can the Ephemera Whisperers put Newt and Mr. and Mrs. B.C. Godwin from 1953 back into history where they belong? Can we find their family stories? Can you help and be an Ephemera Whisperer and coax the story from this postcard? 

In 48 Hours?

You've just been challenged! Good luck!


Come join us in the 48 Hour Ephemera Challenge Forum this weekend to watch, learn, and be challenged! Put those genealogy and family history research skills to good use and learn some new techniques for your own research. Please do not post any research or help here on this blog in the comments. All research and help should be shared in the private forum to protect the privacy of any living individuals. Thank you!
