A superb work of historical recovery that examines the multiple roles of women in the U.S. military and its civilian adjuncts from 1945-1953.
Here is a county history that is extraordinarily rich in primary source materials, including abstracts of deeds from 1681 through the Revolutionary War period and, moreover, petitions, divisions of estates, wills, and marriages found in the records of Perquimans and adjacent North Carolina counties. Numbering in the tens of thousands, the records provide the names of all principal parties and related family members, places of residence and migration, descriptions of real and personal property, dates, boundary surveys, names of executors, witnesses, and appraisers, and dates of recording. Altogether, the index contains references to about 35,000 persons! Researchers should note that Perquimans was one of the original North Carolina precincts--with very close ties to the southeastern Virginia counties of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond, and Isle of Wight--and for many years had fluid boundaries with the North Carolina counties of Chowan, Gates, and Pasquotank.
The Village Girl Grew Up By: Roselidah Obunaga From her humble beginnings, Roselidah was always determined to dream big. Her faith and the support from her late parents served as catalyst into the person who she is now. Since her youthful age and growing into adulthood, Rose has continued to pursue her love for volleyball. She has progressively coached and reached out to the communities that helped her develop as well as local communities. This story is about Rose’s journey as she navigated difficult situations with both loss and triumphs. As Nelson Mandela said, “After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” Rose believes there is still more she would like to do to expand her passion of the volleyball game”. Her story is one that shows how an ordinary person can have a drastic impact on so many lives.
