On and On It Goes

Bring on another round of digging and documenting. The reason I write this is because I like to try and stress the importance of keeping family records and starting to trace your roots. In today’s society, one that is so dependent on instant gratification, very few young people find the time to do any genealogy work other than surfing the net and taking for granted what’s online is fact. For years handwritten notes have been the norm, traveling afar, knocking on doors, visiting cemeteries, talking with strangers who are relatives in fact, copying old delicate photographs and documents. These are all part of the journey. If more do not partake in this trip, less will be known for future generations to rely on. I ask all that read this to consider starting on this great adventure, it is not boring…believe me! Do it for your family, do it now.
