I have been gathering information on our ancestors for many years. I would love to share some of the interesting stories of their lives.
Stories Of Our Ancestors
Welcome to my blog. Hopefully I will have time to share some interesting stories about our ancestors on this site. You are welcome to comment and I will be happy to share any information I have in my genealogy database with others, interested in preserving their heritage.
We are the story tellers of the family and for generations to come. Story tellers must be the one who seems called to find the ancestors ~ to put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel they know and approve. Doing genealogy and sharing with others is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead breathing life into all who those who went before. So anytime you are in the presence of a family member older than you, listen carefully to the things they talk about, you may be called on to remember that someday. As you grow older and are in the presence of younger family members, remember to tell them of their ancestors and of the things you remember about those folks. This is the “breathing life into all who have gone before.” It is the keeping of their spirit and memory alive for others. It is the preservation of our heritage. So, when you remember Grandparents, Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, it will be with a story about them, so that others can know them as you did. (author unknown)
