Robert, I was about 12 years old when my grandpa passed away at 104 years old in 1970. He was born in the late 1860s and I would have loved to have set down and talk to him about how he grew up and what all he had experienced. Also my grandma as well. And yes, knowledge has increased even when I was a little girl, I remember going to the outhouse and only screne windows in the summer and fireplaces for warmth in the winter. This was when we would go home to grandparents house. Wow, time has changed so much, even in my lifetime. The Bible speaks of all these changes. God Bless you Robert for what you are doing! From Ozark Alabama
I agree - Michigan ..I grew up 40’s with my grandparents using horses on the farm to tend the fields, no plumbing. I’m 77 yrs.old now. We had a tractor, but no plumbing in the house
My mother's mother was born in West Virginia in 1904 & rode a pony to school. I was with her on the beach in Daytona Beach in 1969 & we watched the Apollo leave the earth carrying men who would walk on the moon. What a life!
Hearing you talk about Georgia brings back such memories of living there when my father was stationed at Moody Air Force base. I might have been in kindergarten and I’m 78 yrs now. Pet turtles, eating frog legs, being chased by the landlady’s gander. Thank you.
Was lucky to spend my childhood in late 40's and 50's. No car and we got our first TV in 1954 and I think we had 3 channels. Of course we spent all of our time outside and in the woods.🇺🇸
I wished I had asked more questions from my parents/grandparents/aunts and uncles when we were all younger. Distance complicated things later in life and some didn't take to new technology. Now most are gone. My 87 year old mother is in a nursing home and her memory is fading though I tried to ask questions and talk about the past when I call her. There is one one of my Dad's siblings left and he is 88 and suffered a stroke earlier this year and his memory is fading. When we were younger/children we never asked questions that we would ask to day - it wasn't allowed or even thought of. My mother's family were German and would speak in German when they didn't want us to know what was being said. My great gran was illiterate and there were very few written records. I hope the younger generations can learn from this and ask questions and write it all down. Keep your own journal of what you do/did so that future generations have that.
Robert--We Have Living History....We can see all of the old ways around us since we have a sizeable Amish population around our rural small town here in central PA. The Amish people don't have electricity in their homes or running water inside other than a hand pump. They have fireplaces or woodstoves for heat, outhouses for toilets, and horses and buggies for travel--we see them out on our road regularly along with Amish women on bicycles. You can see their laundry hanging out on clotheslines for most of the year (they hang them indoors in the coldest part of the winter). In the winter, too, you can see candles at night in the windows with a halo of frost around them. Their children go to a one-room schoolhouse which provides schooling that ends at the 8th grade level. The Amish here live on the family's farm and grow produce along with some also keeping cows, chickens, and other livestock. Some Amish men are also carpenters and cabinetmakers. Some of the women make quilts. We have a wonderful farmer's market every week here and the Amish sell some of the best produce and eggs in our area--all organic veggies and free-range chickens. I came to know some Amish at the market and at their little historical society out in a very rural area of the next county. Some of the Amish farmers use diesel tractors to plow and some use draft horses. Diesel engines are permitted by some congregations' leaders. Some sects also use "pow-wowing" which is a form of healing using herbs, roots, and praying--though the practitioners and the practice are fading away and they usually go to just a regular doctor these days. We are fortunate to have these people in our area because it gives adults and kids a window to the past that hasn't changed in hundreds of years living right in the here and now.
Hi Robert, unfortunately I missed your livestream. I totally agree with you about this generation will never know the wonderful history of our ancestors because it all dies with them. For many years I’ve tried to gather information about my ancestors. Unfortunately mine have all passed away but 1 great aunt who remains silent and mean. She refuses to give me any details to certain things I need and refuses to give me phone numbers to my cousins who could also help me. She has been like this her life and it figures she would be the last one to pass away. She has ALL the pictures and everything. I wanted to write a book and so my extended family would have the history and family tree for themselves. But it’s hard to finish with a hole in your history. I swear she’s the devil incarnated. It just breaks my heart that family has to be this way especially mine. History is so very important, our ancestors need to be remembered. We need to know where we come from. My favorite past time was listening to my precious mother telling stories. When they leave us, that’s all we have left except for a few material things. With the way the world is now it wouldn’t bother me a bit to live off grid. I’m glad your WiFi is working great in your wonderful old house. Again, sorry I missed your livestream. I love your videos and you are definitely very handsome as well… 😊
You gave an old man a gift of light in his heart by taking him to relive his past life, don't underestimate the joy you gave 😢 bless you for giving him that.
If I can brag, my Dad wrote a book called "Calluses and Character: the Life and Times of a Kentucky Sharecropper." It's on Amazon. An easy read full of stories just like you were describing. Dad was one of 11 children and the stories cover about 100 years of life in Warren County Kentucky.
As I'm listening to you speak, I think of something one of my customers told me recently. A high school guy in her neighborhood helped her do some yard work and he would not let her pay him. So her left a card and a hand written letter for him at his house. He soon came to her door with the letter. He told her that he could not read it. She thought he was telling her that he could not read. What he was really saying was that he could not read the cursive handwriting! So she read it to him. I fear cursive writing will be a lost art one day also!!
Life was hard, cold,wet and many went hungry during the winter. You wore layers and sat in the kitchen cuz thats where the fire was. They put all the plumbing in around the kitchen, why so many bathrooms were off the kitchen. Hot water heaters were in kitchens or bathrooms. Dry cracked and chapped skin all over the body was common! Yes, hard is the word for it. Having soup boiling on back burner all day provided something warm to drink.
it was not all that warm, just remember there was no insulation, no vapor barrier, caulk was mud. but there was area rugs on the floors. quilts to wrap your self up to stay warm or multiple layers of cloths to stay warm in the winter!
I've had a mono record portable record player, a little am transistor, a tape recorder - we used to sit by the radio and record songs from it; cassette players, 8tracks, stereos, walkmans'; ipods, android cell phones (first cell phone was a "brick" and plans were expensive with little talk time and no data); iphones, ipads, computers and laptops. Apple watches, cordless home phones. I have seen the first space shuttles launch and then the first manned rocket/moon walks; we have driverless cars and electric cars and hybrid cars. I went from an outhouse/no indoor plumbing until 1968 (13 years old) to our current status. Condos were unknown. It was apartments, row housing and single family houses, to semi detached. Took photos on a Brownie camer, Polariods, mini cameras, 35 millimeter cameras to iphone photos. We have gone from black and white to colored photos. Now we can print our own, and don't have to pay to have the film processed and then pick them up. There are prototypes of flying cars. And now AI which always reminds me of the movie 2001 a Space Odessy - Hal. The future holds so much unknown possibilities/
My siblings and I grew up in rural mid-east Missouri in the late 40's and 50's. We didn't have running water, indoor plumbing or central heat until 1961. Most of the houses we lived in were clap board covered log cabins built in the mid to late 1800s. We had water from a cistern and wood and coal stoves for heat in the winter. At bed time Mom would bank the stoves and we'll crawl into our beds under a pile of quilts. I had an "eider down comfort" that was a gift from friends. That was so warm on nights that got below 0°. I think of the kids today, my great and great-great nieces and nephews and wonder how they'll cope if SHTF ever happens. At 78, I can still start a fire and cook on an old cook stove. I can run a wringer wash machine or use a tub and scrub board. I still have my old coal oil lamps to use if the power goes out. what will these kids do?
I grew up in South Carolina, and I worked in the tobacco fields to earn money for my school clothes. It didn’t matter if you were a girl. We had to all do our share.
sorry I missed your live stent. it is so nice to see you Robert! how is the floor going? and your furry friends! pet the kitties for me! along with blu and your other dog. technology has advanced so far, so fast! I was an inbetweener TI994A comodor 64, apple computer.
Thank you Robert in explaining how important this info is. So much gets lost. It's important to share that information we collect so it doesn't get lost in our generation too. In the 70's I started documenting info about my family after finding my Grandfather book of his history. I've kept it up by taping and asking question about their info so I can list on Ancestry.
My mother was a sharecropper's daughter. She was born in 1934. They were dirt poor in the middle of the depression in the deep South. She helped her family in the fields. This included picking cotton. She passed in 2017 at the age of 83. All of her sibling have passed but one. I still have an aunt in her 90's.
The first word processing was a type writer, before computer key boards. I really don't know how much more progress that the future is going to be able to fill the space in time. It's left me behind.
Advanced technology but here in Europe we are on the verge of WWII. USA does not get the news. So as humans in relationships we have not advanced. Still hatred and violence against other people
My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. Moreand today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 00967779509554. Whoever can help us,message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me awayempty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you with good =>[[}>] ^][/&;;&;&&;•̥·-•.,¸-•.,¸°·̮ •̥·°,.•¯,.•¯,;;;.≪∫⌈,.≪∫⌈,.≪∫⌈,.≪∫⌈,.≪∫⌈,.------------------------------،-------،-..........

Hi. I bought your father’s book on Amazon and am looking forward to reading it.
@@marilyngaeta1362 I hope you like it! Definitely fits what Robert was talking about... it's important to save those stories. ♥️
@@amywright2243 You are right. I wish I would have been able to find my family history.

True. Many schools are not teaching cursive writing anymore. I think that is a mistake.

What you are saying is so true. My grand children have no idea what was.
