Still Learning

I've learned a lot in my lifetime. I guess the feeling of despair comes from the knowledge that there will probably be no one who will come after me that will ever care about all the information I have gathered in the last four years of genealogy research. And then there's the family albums and photographs, fifty years of collecting and where will it end up? I'm not a president or a queen or an actress of fame or any one who has done something as important as inventing penicillin. But, I feel that some of us must keep the records of what has happened and who has passed through our lives.

Because each person has a story to tell about themselves and their lives, this blog will be dedicated to writing down as many of the stories as I can that have been told by the people in my family tree. I will try to keep the facts as close to truth as I have been told by my parents and grandparents, family and distant relations.

To begin, I want to thank everyone who has shared so graciously of their information, research and postings. If at any time you notice an error I have made, I will be grateful for your imput and corrections.

Genealogy has become a passion, almost an obsession at times. I have even let it flow over into my watercolors. Actually, it has given my paintings a new point of interest and excitement.
When I become more adapt at the computer and blogging, I will add pictures, paintings and photos of my genealogy quilts.

I hope you will find this blog of interest and perhaps for one or two persons it might even lead them to research their own decendency.
