Please, do take the time to lean more about
Melanoma Cancer. 50 years ago 1 in 500 was expected to have it in their
lifetime, now it is 1 in 50! The Ozone layer is likely partially to blame,
but no one knows for sure. Please take the time to earn how to protect your
loved ones.

From an old Irish headstone….
I hear ethereal whispers, persuasive, soft and still.
Daughter, if you don't remember us, who will?
Ahhh... These words ring so TRUE!
I really do think there is one in a family who 'has
the calling' to become the family historian. There has always been a 'name
for us' in each culture and timeframe but usually something similar to 'the
storyteller'…
As a genealogist, historian, storyteller... we
seem to fear no one will listen, no one will remember or continue the cycle
and all will be lost.... but time has shown there is always at least 'one
called' who will pick up where we left off. I think our job is just to tell
the story best as we can and leave enough information so the next one
'called' will have something to work with.
As to the often heard statement 'You’re so involved with dead people'
heck, I talk to them all the time! Usually muttering something like "Where are you? Or why did you move there? But
funny as it sounds I usually get a reply. Not by voice, but by some little
scrap of unexpected evidence, which explains it all!
I do think our passed relatives want to be found and counted, but sometimes
they wait until the right moment to allow us to find them so our
understanding might be a little better.
Another
way to look at it is....
He who has
the biggest tree will have the best family reunion some day!
I plan to
have one heck of a big party!
