About the Event
Genealogy can touch our lives in many ways as we discover and share the treasured stories of our ancestors. One of these stories from our Paulding community is an old legend that has been discussed here at the Paulding County Genealogical Society (PCGS) for decades. It’s the story of a mysterious plane crash that happened somewhere in the wooded hills of Paulding County long ago, presumably during WWII. Join us as Brian Cochran and members of the PCGS research team recount their efforts to discover and memorialize the plane crash of pilot, Mr. Joe White. This program will include an introduction to the tools and techniques used to uncover the details of this historic event. With great excitement, this program will also include details of the unforgettable process of contacting the family members of Mr. Joe White and the lasting friendship we've created in remembering his life.
