Collecting the history of my family has been a labor of love for a number of years. Along the way, I've been able to use my knowledge of history and the collected stories of my family, to piece together forgotten details.
Stories are a good start, but documenting the past offers a new approach to tell the story of where we came from and what it took for ancestors to blaze trails for future generations. It can be a long process, but there are many people and organizations willing to help unearth family members and stories. |
