Ms. Lois celebrating her 89th birthday at the Jackson County Archives in Pascagoula, Mississippi where she works full time!
The first stop my cousin Monique and I made on our Family Footsteps tour was to the Jackson County Archives which had copies of court records, land deeds and wills pertaining to our family. Our new friends “Ms. Lois” Castigliola and Linda Cooper helped us navigate the books, gently nudged us out the door at quitting time, and let us share in Lois’s birthday celebration. 89 years young, Ms. Lois is still working full-time!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
