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.
