Civilian Conservation Corps
If you've ever visited a national park or national forest, you have probably come across a marker placed in honor of the Civilian Conservation Corps. President Roosevelt created the CCC in 1933 to put young men to work building parks, roads and other infrastructure during the Depression. Someone in your family may have participated. This article from the "What's Past is Prologue" genealogy blog lists a few sources for your research. We would suggest also checking out the extensive CCC links at Cyndi's List.
