Our Family's Genealogy

Need a website for your organization or business? This HTML5 coded template was created just for you! You can easily swap our img out for yours. We used royalty free img from Pixabay and Unsplash in this template.

This template was designed for almost any html editor. This template also contains dwts for those that wish to use them in Expression Web and Dreamweaver. They are not connected to the pages, so you must format new pages.

The following text is filler text. You will use your text here. Donec neque urna, ultrices et sagittis sit amet, cursus ut quam. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Maecenas velit tellus, iaculis sit amet faucibus sit amet, imperdiet quis lacus. Nulla turpis nulla, aliquam at eleifend sed, viverra ac massa. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Suspendisse potenti.  Praesent dolor urna, scelerisque sed convallis nec, consequat quis velit. Quisque eu eros id lacus elementum mattis sit amet vel mauris.

aecenas velit tellus, iaculis sit amet faucibus sit amet, imperdiet quis lacus. Nulla turpis nulla, aliquam at eleifend sed, viverra ac massa. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Suspendisse potenti. 

The Chosen

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 of My Bones

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.
