Research Notes

Joseph Henry Drinnin kept journals throughout his life, some of those survive to this day. He thought ahead and left a sum of money in his will for his journals to be transcribed after his death. Transcriptions of 1883-1915 were used by my mother, LaDonna Geiser English and myself to compile and publish, "A Nebraska Farmer's Journal: The Diary of Joseph Henry Drinnin 1883-1915," in 2011. We are direct descendants of Joseph Henry Drinnin. Subsequent journals 1916-1933 were located and provided to us by Grace Drinnin Gerrard. These are the original journals and we have transcribed and digitized them. They are being used to publish a second volume. Any references to his journals will simply be: JHD Journal, year, page.
