Tuesday’s Tip: Even Modern Publications May Have Relevant Genealogical Information!
Google is good- always amazes me at what a search can find on the astounding internet. A recent search that included the terms Broida, Parkersburg, and WV, found the pamphlet “”101 Unique Places to Dine in West Virginia.” I almost dismissed it as being too modern, but then decided to take a minute to check it out, since Google is seldom (never?) wrong. Sure enough, the Broida Building was listed as the location for a unique food and drink emporium, and it even mentioned that the building was built in the 1920s and housed a store for “fine women’s fashion.” This would have been “Broida’s,” owned by J. S. Broida, and with another store in Parkersburg, West Virginia, about 75 miles west.
Quite an unexpected find in a modern-day flyer!
