Our Family's Journey Through Time
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.

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. "It goes to a deep and immense understanding that

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.

We'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.
If you have something you would like to add or if you would like to submit documents for inclusion on this web, please let me know.
