THIS is why you just don;pt scoop everything up and just throw it out. THIS personal stuff from your Great Grandmother's one purse, is awesome and so much on your family, Robert, so happy you found this, and hope you continue to find more history of your family and ancestors as you go and clean out each room, am sure there is a lot more that you have yet to uncover and discover. Looks like a great day for cleaning at the OBF. Can't wait to see more of what you find. God bless..
We bought my grandpa’s 100 yr old neglected & hoarded house. We got the same advice about just getting a dumpster and chucking it all. I am so glad we sorted through just as you are, finding so many treasures along the way.
Robert, Someone is pranking you, who amongst your friends would do that?? Hmmmmmmmmmm. I love the fact that everyone looks out for everyone in your small town and people are mostly quiet spoken. History is everywhere if you take the time to find and research it. I spent summers travelling the country back in 1968 and 1969 and every small town had someone who knew the history and wanted to share it. You are uncovering yours, piece by piece. Cheers, Rik Spector
@@joshuagibson2520 Yup, a simple explanation would be that someone tried to turn the lights on, not knowing they were on a generator. When none of the switches did anything, they just gave up.
So worth the slow clean out! Great documents!! And clothes!! I just love when this happens - all the complainers about the contents of the house take note!!! Weird on the lights.. the Creepy Santa obviously has Creepy Elves. Hey, Scott!! ❤ Great stuff, Robert!! 👍👍❣️❣️😊😊
I love how excited you are about family history. I got a little scratch notebook of my Granddad's, some handwritten poems from my great grandmother and handwritten recipes from my Granny. No one else wanted things, and I was trying to get to them before they got thrown away. It makes me happy to see someone else feel the same way. Keep looking through every piece-I am enjoying seeing what you find! But you are making me nervous on that floor; the nurse in me is seeing all kinds of injuries from this!
I know the feeling of desperation very well. My aunt lived in the family ranch house from the time she grad college (during WWI) and came home to teach at the local high school. The clutter was very organized, and she kept a clean house - but there were at least 2 trunks holding possessions of family members who died young in the house's basement. They were a time capsule of their lives. My aunt had allowed me to snoop through them when I was about 12 y.o. Fast forward to the clean out of that huge, 5 bedroom,1920s era craftsman style house which I was somewhat rudely invited to not attend. I was sure no one would throw away the contents of the trunks. But somehow no one could recall what happened to my 20 y.o. uncle's love letters with a girlfriend. He was shot over a land purchase he and his dad had been lured into. There were newspaper clippings of the trial of his killer and other of his possessions in one of those trunks. Years earlier his older brother had died in his late 20s, bushwacked out in lawless NM (before it became a state) by his wife's lover. My heart was broken. I wished I'd never known about those trunks. Both young men were my grandmother's brothers. I suppose she kept them from the time of her mother's death. Her dad had moved in with her family a while before he died. No one in our family ever admitted to seeing the letters and papers, or knowing of their existence. I didn't raise a big stink. I 🤐 for 50 yrs. Finally a couple of cousins (sisters) approached me with questions about my grandmother's wedding dress and black wool coat with brown mink collar. Then I knew who had been the culprit hiding the murder trial newspaper clippings of my grandmother's brothers. I always suspected my prim and propper uncle who didn't want anyone to know about family tragedies. I had agreec to meet with these two female cousins around the time of the c-19 outbreak. I took it as a sign. Who knows, they may practice the same philosophy of secrecy as their dad. I don't owe them anything. They still haven't admitted having the contents of the trunks, but I know the wedding dress was inside one of those trunks. I may give them the same treatment. What silly games some play. The purse Robert found caused a flood of memories. Why would anyone think family history should be hidden from future generations? I'm still puzzled.
What a find with that old purse. Love the old ration books. I'm glad your taking your time to preserve what you can. Love the book. And even the vintage clothes are a great find. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome finds, especially being part of your family. So glad water or rodents never got to the purse and contents. Benjamin made a haul from the haulway. ha
That’s awesome finding all those cool historical papers. That leather purse is what saved them. I’m much like you, I eat that stuff up. I’m so excited to see what else you’ll be finding. That medicine cabinet ,” be still my heart”. Fell in love with that. Clean it up put a new mirror in it n call done. Happy to see Ben found some treasures of clothes. Wait till you get into the bedrooms. I saw lots n lots of clothes. So happy for you finding your treasures. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟👍🎄🐶🐶
That is so cool to find that stuff. My grandparents had historic and antique stuff, but my uncle emptied the house and trashed everything before anyone could go through it. So much history lost!
My mother used her old purses as filing cabinets. Her contents wouldn't have been as historically interesting, but it's nice to know she wasn't the only one who did that. What a great find!
The old leather purse saved the old papers. What a great find. Also, glad that you were able to save some cloths out of the heap of trash. Sorry your Santa disappeared. How sad. Hope you find that ghost!
Sounds like someone took a tour of the Old Byrd Farm last night. Started the generator and took Santa. They were polite enough to turn off all the switches for you. That happened to us. Didn't know anything until the lights were all switched off. They took an antique small table that used to set the light on. That was all.
Your ghosts sure do like haunting the house around Christmas lol. I remember when you're dried orange slices were taken off your tree a couple years ago. You should definitely leave some milk and cookies out this year.
I'm doing the happy dance for you, I think I even have a tear it's always so awesome to find those precious pieces of history. Now where did Santa go 😅
Hi Robert. It’s was so fun hearing about the lights being turned off and the creepy Santa missing, I watched in case something happens! I love watching your videos, they are great!!! I ❤️your farmhouse, it’s going to be beautiful when it’s finished and the journey to get there. 🎄Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
Wow, that pocketbook.pocketbook.. wonderful. I was born in Sept 1945. Those 1945 papers were really a time capsule find for sure. Great work, Robert. I'm wishing you and yours a safe and happy holidays. Merry Christmas!!!
Hi Robert 👋 👋 👋 👋 it looks like you had a spooky 👻 time there what a mystery 😳 yes it's a good job you go through the trash 🗑 specially when you come across historic papers I'm like you Robert I also got a interest in history in my local historic archives which goes a long way I given most of my historic items to my local museum all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
I'm really glad that you had the opportunity to get your peoples home back, and of course you have to go through everything! Treasures !! You don't have to defend yourself on why you do what you do, but I do like hearing about your process. I look forward to your videos and I live vicariously through you!!
That purse is really very interesting. And the documents in it are very cool. I don't know if someone else has said this, but the card that talked about classifications could have something to do with WW1 that ended during 1918. It is so great to hear your happiness in finding these things. I hope there are areas of the house that you can secure, because someone is gaining access and I can think of a few ways. Really worry about you keeping all that you have worked so hard for. Take care of yourself and from what I remember that area has decreased in size by at least 2-3 feet in depth and maybe 8-10 feet in length and that is a lot of work.
Love that I have found your videos. However, as a Respiratory Therapist, I can’t stress to you enough about wearing a mask while you are digging through the treausures. Whether it’s at the home or gravesite. You can take it off while talking to us. Thank you for all the respect you have always shown to the old history. Merry Christmas to y’all ❤🙏
Cool beans! The old papers are great,all that stuffed in an old purse,kept them safe many years looks like. So keep going who knows what you'll turn up next.😳 and who's afraid of 👻,not me. Lol.
I grew up in Vienna in the 70s, it's pronounced by locals as VI-anna, not VEE-enna like Austria or the little canned sausages, lol! I knew some Denards too. It's one of those little Southern towns that was once a vibrant, very alive place and just isn't any more. I now live near Savannah and going back there now makes me deeply sad. I enjoy your channel a great deal, trying to keep our history a little bit alive is commendable!
You should put up a trail camera or something to see what is going on. Trespassers or ghost, beware! Nice find, it pays of to take the time to go through things in these old houses. Merry Christmas Robert, and all of you watching!
Remember when you did the whole house tour recently? Remember that one bedroom where you heard something move? Paranormal researchers say that whenever you start renovating an old place that hasn't been lived in forever, it stirs up the Spirits. They start messing with things ( the lights)?and hiding things( like Creepy Santa)? Hopefully they approve of your improvements when you're finished and maybe they'll back off a bit.😊👻
I am with you. You just can’t scoop and throw out without going through everything. I love vintage stuff. Nothing would please me more than to sit there and read every one of those papers in that black bag. Creepy Santa shut off the lights before he left. ,,just so you know.😅
I believe that the build up was above the chair rail on the wall. you are doing a great job getting it cleaned out. there is so much history you are finding. my grand mother on my dad’s side had 3 pages of ration stamps. I heard a funny story about a man who tried to get some gas, they alternated by last number on the tags. the first day he went it was the even day{but you still needed the stamps} went up the attendant said you can not get gas today, your plate is odd number, so he went back the next day to be told again, you have an even number once he took a look at his front them rear tag the numbers did not match! one was odd, the front was even!
Hello, and what a very interesting find and such very cool antique stuff .Thank you so much for sharing with us take care. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
If you look by the trash bag as you are opening the letter you will catch two orbs floating by . House is looking good. I enjoy you family history. Merry Christmas from Michigan.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time. May the lord bless and protect you Robert. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Robert to you and your family
the documents were important to someone, kept all together then put in a purse, very meaningful. Even the 1980's agriculture letter was interesting everything is done online now.
I've read the comments that you've already reviewed the security cameras...I still think it's a stunt that Walter or Brian would pull!---Uff da, dirty work, but you sure found a load of goodies!
Wow, didn’t expect to see anything referencing Vienna Ga. We say it “Vi-anna “. Small town to be mentioned in a TH-cam video about a house cleanup. 😊 good luck with your cleanup. Did you check to see if Santa slipped further into the wall?
Hi Robert I needed his muster today. I’ve been trying to put together a twisted Christmas tree and loosing my religion with a he effort. I finally decided to fix my lunch and hope you had a new video posted so I would get away from the tree for awhile. I’ll get back to it but now I’m enjoying this video. I bet some who watches your channel sneaks in and stole funny Santa
You are doing an amazing job Robert! Preserving history is so interesting to me! I love ephemera pieces! Most are absolutely gorgeous because our ancestors were just so intricate and took pride in whatever their skill happened to be! Happy Holidays to the entire olde Byrd farm and sidestep adventures crew! ❤
According to the Selective Service Regulation of 1918, 4A was "any married registrant whose wife or children are mainly dependent upon his labor for support", and "any mariner actually employed in the sea service" (civilians serving in US flagged merchant fleets).
You are truly blessed. If I understood you correctly, if is your families home? I really wish I was this blessed. I have been working on our family history for awhile now, years. I have found many cool things, but this is fantastic. I once went to two different local yard sales, I found a year book with my ex mother in law in it, and purchased for her. The second yard sale was around the corner, and I purchased a old book that actually ended up from a past cousin of mine from the late 1880s/1900s. A true treasure, I also have my great great grandma's bible that my 90 year old cousin gave me. He is like you, blessed with his family home, (he grew up in it) that is well over a hundred years old, with so many treasures. Kudos to you!
Hello Robert that is pretty cool what you found in that purse but more importantly it was legible good luck with everything else Happy Hunting happy holidays to you and your family🎄☃️❄⛄❄🎄🎁🎄 take care love from upstate New York❤😊
Love it when you did the treasures an go through it with us piece by piece.. now gotta say I wanted you to read the war dept letter in the end but I know you will have a sit down with us later 😉 love your vlogs, thank you for sharing with us
One day, our family will be going through old things and will say “this was before the internet”, or “before they went paperless”. How sad future generations will not get to experience time capsules like this.
You found some great finds. Those artifacts are important, and it's always great when you can use or repurpose things. I'm sure you will find many more cool artifacts as you go through the house. And I think you have someone, or something in the house with you. Obviously, they don't like Creepy Santa. That and the lights are very weird. Changing things can bring things like this on, although I'm not a believer, but keep an open mind and a healthy skepticism. I still think that Pig Boy had something to do with Creepy Santa. lol. I just love watching these videos. Great job, Robert!
Great find .. those war ration books are awesome. Many folks have never seen those. That war form letter from 1918 appeared to be a WW1 certification letter I think. Wow .. great job
That young man Benjamin is sure a little cutie !!! I met him when I was there for the yard sale. Bet he has all kinds of young girls in the area after him !!!
Treasure! Not the kind that makes you rich, but treasure none the less

How did all the treasures end up piled in the various rooms?
Did the santa fall down between the wall, unless someone is playing a joke,
That little car is a Monopoly piece and that old purse is the “cats meow!” 😎
Merry Christmas & God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇮🇱

I love old documents. It tells a story. The person might not be living , but their life comes alive when you acknowledge them. I loved the purse.
What a great fine. That purse made your face light up. Its amazing the feeling would be of a family treasure to be found.
The old leather purse saved the old papers. What a great find. Also, glad that you were able to save some cloths out of the heap of trash. Sorry your Santa disappeared. How sad. Hope you find that ghost!

Yeah, I think it was rats that got my oranges
I'm doing the happy dance for you, I think I even have a tear it's always so awesome to find those precious pieces of history. Now where did Santa go 😅

I dont have any family land, history, or relics. I can't imagine how cool this would be.
Watching from Australia. Absolutely fascinating things that you are finding. History right there. What priceless treasures you are finding.
The OBF guardian spirits were just making sure nothing was going to happen to the house🙂 Merry Christmas. 🎄
Very cool find. Ration books are cool to look at. The letter from WW1 is amazing to find. Glad that Mr. Dan is looking out for you ha ha.
Hi Robert 👋 👋 👋 👋 it looks like you had a spooky 👻 time there what a mystery 😳 yes it's a good job you go through the trash 🗑 specially when you come across historic papers I'm like you Robert I also got a interest in history in my local historic archives which goes a long way I given most of my historic items to my local museum all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

That purse was a Awesome find with family history 👍
Looking forward to seeing inside of the boarded up bathroom at the end of the hallway. Have you ever seen the room?
I think the bathroom might no longer be there. A while ago Robert demolished a bathroom in that general area.
That purse is really very interesting. And the documents in it are very cool. I don't know if someone else has said this, but the card that talked about classifications could have something to do with WW1 that ended during 1918. It is so great to hear your happiness in finding these things.
I hope there are areas of the house that you can secure, because someone is gaining access and I can think of a few ways. Really worry about you keeping all that you have worked so hard for.
Take care of yourself and from what I remember that area has decreased in size by at least 2-3 feet in depth and maybe 8-10 feet in length and that is a lot of work.
Love that I have found your videos. However, as a Respiratory Therapist, I can’t stress to you enough about wearing a mask while you are digging through the treausures.

I am glad you found that purse, it was worth going through! Blessings, Have a Merry
christmas.
Cool beans! The old papers are great,all that stuffed in an old purse,kept them safe many years looks like. So keep going who knows what you'll turn up next.😳 and who's afraid of 👻,not me. Lol.
What a great find and the old clothes being reused is wonderful!
The medicine cabinet is a great find. It should clean up pretty well with a lot of sanding and a good quality paint
What a wonderful step back in time!! I love love history.
I grew up in Vienna in the 70s, it's pronounced by locals as VI-anna, not VEE-enna like Austria or the little canned sausages, lol! I knew some Denards too. It's one of those little Southern towns that was once a vibrant, very alive place and just isn't any more. I now live near Savannah and going back there now makes me deeply sad. I enjoy your channel a great deal, trying to keep our history a little bit alive is commendable!
Very cool finds. I have my grandmother's ration stamp books. Amazing times back then.
Indeed!
You should put up a trail camera or something to see what is going on. Trespassers or ghost, beware! Nice find, it pays of to take the time to go through things in these old houses. Merry Christmas Robert, and all of you watching!
Remember when you did the whole house tour recently? Remember that one bedroom where you heard something move? Paranormal researchers say that whenever you start renovating an old place that hasn't been lived in forever, it stirs up the Spirits. They start messing with things ( the lights)?and hiding things( like Creepy Santa)? Hopefully they approve of your improvements when you're finished and maybe they'll back off a bit.😊👻
You are so right the cases of paranormal activity that occurs when old buildings are being renovated is well known
Very nice vintage and antiques. Pray it helps someone fill in holes, or gaps in their history.
Most excellent!
Robert, stick to your guns. No matter what anyone says, sometimes the fastest way is not always the best way to do things. Keep up the and work!
I am with you. You just can’t scoop and throw out without going through everything. I love vintage stuff. Nothing would please me more than to sit there and read every one of those papers in that black bag. Creepy Santa shut off the lights before he left. ,,just so you know.😅
I love finding things like that. Something I miss about my old job. Used to find all kinds of things because I took the time to look! Progress!
Maybe somebody came in the house after you left for the day through the big gap in the floor ?
That little car was from a monopoly game. Love it!
I believe that the build up was above the chair rail on the wall. you are doing a great job getting it cleaned out.
there is so much history you are finding. my grand mother on my dad’s side had 3 pages of ration stamps.
I heard a funny story about a man who tried to get some gas, they alternated by last number on the tags.
the first day he went it was the even day{but you still needed the stamps} went up the attendant said you can
not get gas today, your plate is odd number, so he went back the next day to be told again, you have an even number
once he took a look at his front them rear tag the numbers did not match! one was odd, the front was even!
Hello, and what a very interesting find and such very cool antique stuff .Thank you so much for sharing with us take care. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
That is so cool to find that paperwork in that purse. And it is nice condition too.
It’s great that you are so patient to be careful with looking at everything. Cool stuff!
If you look by the trash bag as you are opening the letter you will catch two orbs floating by . House is looking good. I enjoy you family history. Merry Christmas from Michigan.
If you find creepy Santa somewhere else, that will be really creepy.😮
Very neat I also love reading the old material. Too bad that there's not more of it around.👍🇺🇸
Love hearing the history of the farm. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Merry Christmas!
Letters war letters
Old photographs
You are doing right
Robert
Thats working to method
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time. May the lord bless and protect you Robert. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Robert to you and your family
the documents were important to someone, kept all together then put in a purse, very meaningful. Even the 1980's agriculture letter was interesting everything is done online now.
I thought the creepy Santa would be awesome in that nook, it would scare Scott for sure.
I've read the comments that you've already reviewed the security cameras...I still think it's a stunt that Walter or Brian would pull!---Uff da, dirty work, but you sure found a load of goodies!
I picture Santa walking through there through the night turning off lights and when he was finished he just walked off down the road.
The old Byrd farm house is full of old treasure and history. Keep digging Robert who knows what you will find next. Merry Christmas to you and your,s.
Amazing! Great work saving these historical treasures ❤
Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍
I am fairly new here. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to search and care about the left overs of another human beings life.
You got alot done there! Truly awesome treasures!
Yes, I love all the old letters and paper work
I sure admire your dedication to find every treasure. These videos are fascinating to watch.
Wow, didn’t expect to see anything referencing Vienna Ga. We say it “Vi-anna “. Small town to be mentioned in a TH-cam video about a house cleanup. 😊 good luck with your cleanup. Did you check to see if Santa slipped further into the wall?
That little car is probably a Monopoly game piece. So fun to see the treasures!
That you do this sorting without wear gloves..... Old dust and dirt being disturbed... Plz wear protection. So happy to see family history finds.
I can tell the differences pretty soon it will be ready for flooring . Good job and check everything twice❤
Hi Robert I needed his muster today. I’ve been trying to put together a twisted Christmas tree and loosing my religion with a he effort. I finally decided to fix my lunch and hope you had a new video posted so I would get away from the tree for awhile. I’ll get back to it but now I’m enjoying this video. I bet some who watches your channel sneaks in and stole funny Santa
Haha nah, I actually have creepy Santa to Dan the Historian Man - but the light being switched off was true! So weird! Merry Christmas!
Robert that was a draft classification card from WW 1. There were many draftees inducted into military service for WW 1.
Ballew really likes Ben. Funny how dogs can tell good folk from not so good folks.
Merry Christmas guys ! Say maybe run a trap camera over Christmas , you might catch something.🤗🤗✌👩❤️👨❤🌲
Personal family history is so exciting!
I think its so awesome what you are doing! Love watching both of your channels .
The little car in the medicine cabinet I think is from an old Monopoly game.
It is odd about the lights and Santa. The small metal car looks like it was from a monopoly set. You found some neat finds
You are doing an amazing job Robert! Preserving history is so interesting to me! I love ephemera pieces! Most are absolutely gorgeous because our ancestors were just so intricate and took pride in whatever their skill happened to be! Happy Holidays to the entire olde Byrd farm and sidestep adventures crew! ❤
According to the Selective Service Regulation of 1918, 4A was "any married registrant whose wife or children are mainly dependent upon his labor for support", and "any mariner actually employed in the sea service" (civilians serving in US flagged merchant fleets).
Makes a person wonder what all has been pilfered from there over the years.
You are truly blessed. If I understood you correctly, if is your families home? I really wish I was this blessed. I have been working on our family history for awhile now, years. I have found many cool things, but this is fantastic. I once went to two different local yard sales, I found a year book with my ex mother in law in it, and purchased for her. The second yard sale was around the corner, and I purchased a old book that actually ended up from a past cousin of mine from the late 1880s/1900s. A true treasure, I also have my great great grandma's bible that my 90 year old cousin gave me. He is like you, blessed with his family home, (he grew up in it) that is well over a hundred years old, with so many treasures. Kudos to you!
Good to see you had some company wi5h your successful treasure hunt. You did good. Annette from west sussex england
I love old things tells story of the past hope you continue to find more treasure
Hello Robert that is pretty cool what you found in that purse but more importantly it was legible good luck with everything else Happy Hunting happy holidays to you and your family🎄☃️❄⛄❄🎄🎁🎄 take care love from upstate New York❤😊
This is fascinating. Thankyou for sharing sir.
Love it when you did the treasures an go through it with us piece by piece.. now gotta say I wanted you to read the war dept letter in the end but I know you will have a sit down with us later 😉 love your vlogs, thank you for sharing with us
If that santa shows up someplace else, you have a problem. 😆😁😱
One day, our family will be going through old things and will say “this was before the internet”, or “before they went paperless”. How sad future generations will not get to experience time capsules like this.
You found some great finds. Those artifacts are important, and it's always great when you can use or repurpose things. I'm sure you will find many more cool artifacts as you go through the house. And I think you have someone, or something in the house with you. Obviously, they don't like Creepy Santa. That and the lights are very weird. Changing things can bring things like this on, although I'm not a believer, but keep an open mind and a healthy skepticism. I still think that Pig Boy had something to do with Creepy Santa. lol. I just love watching these videos. Great job, Robert!
Robert, you're so full of Christmas cheer. 😊Merry Christmas.
Great find .. those war ration books are awesome. Many folks have never seen those. That war form letter from 1918 appeared to be a WW1 certification letter I think. Wow .. great job
Your dog sure loves Benjamin!
That young man Benjamin is sure a little cutie !!! I met him when I was there for the yard sale. Bet he has all kinds of young girls in the area after him !!!
Oh like that phrase, time capsule stuff😊
