I have a friend that had been given some older copies of Remimisce Magazine to look at. I saw them and began flipping through them and was entranced. The content this magazine offers is a wonderful look into history of the 20th century through the stories written by contributing writers.

Advertisements are all but nonexistent. The pages are adorned with LOTS & LOTS of old photos and stories. (Oh- did I remember to say LOTS?) You will find stories that cover personal & major historical events from about 1920 through the 1960s.

Some of the sections I found interesting are "Ads from the Old Days", "I've Kept It - All These Years" (shorts on mementos and memorabilia). There are family stories of tough times, and childhood memories, old recipes and cartoons. Its well worth a look if you have not seen it before.

I am curious how many others may or may not be aware of this magazine.

About the author

Tim Firkowski

I have been doing genealogy research since 2002 & have worked full time as a Professional Genealogist since 2008. I specialize in Polish and American-Canadian Genealogy. As a member of APG, I was the 2010/2011 President of the New England Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (NEAPG). I have Certificates of Completion for studies in "Foundations of Forensic Genealogy" and "Advanced Forensic Genealogy Techniques". I have been a volunteer librarian at the local Family History Center, and a genealogy research consultant at “Ask the Expert” Ancestry Road Shows. I have traveled to Poland numerous times & researched in churches and archives. At conferences and special events, you may find me dressed up in my Sherlock Holmes outfit, or my Kujawy (the folk costume from the region in Poland where my ancestors came from).
