Speaker: Thomas MacEntee – Escape Room – “The Case of Martha Sleeper – The Gadget Girl”
Accidentally, you are locked in at the Leominster Public Library after hours. It seems that you fell asleep in a cubicle while researching the history of bakelite jewelry from the 1930s and 1940s. Your current research subject is Martha Sleeper, who was known not only as a film and stage actor, but also as a jewelry designer. Some of her designs were produced by the New England Novelty Company in Leominster. You MUST complete your research on Martha Sleeper by answering a set of questions related to her genealogy and family history. USE THIS FORM AT https://forms.gle/4KiygsZMzzbWDE1w9. Sharpen those research skills by researching NOW and then participate in the “actionable genealogy education” event on Tuesday, 2/27 @ 7 PM!
NOTE: You are allowed to use ANY online sites for GENEALOGY research; most clues can be found on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com and FamilySearch at https://www.familysearch.com. And if you “cheat” by simply using Google to find information, you are only cheating yourself out of an amazing story of an amazing woman.
