Finding Ancestors
It's What We Do
Take a look at all of the great information we've gathered!
Need a new look for your TNG or your html genealogy site? We can help!
We are
the chosen. In each family there is 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 that somehow they know and approve.
Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing
life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the
tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our
genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So,
we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have
I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have
I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud
of us.". How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow
there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting
facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do. It goes to
seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference
and saying - I can't let this happen.

The
bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing
something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to
accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting
their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness
to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the
fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a nation. It goes to a
deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of
equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without
them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can
reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So
we do.
With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence,
because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe
called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the
next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of
family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what
calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those
who we had never known before.

Why
waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into
politics and your opponents will do it for you.
Everyone
has ancestors and it is only a question of going back far
enough to find a good one.
We've
uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant
past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday
nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in
the newspaper business.
Southerners
are so devoted to genealogy that we see a family tree under
every bush.
My
grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was
sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the
hell she is.

I've
been researching this family name for over 30 years. I found lots of
information at the State Archives, but once the internet exploded with
genealogy, many more doors have been opened for me to research.
