“We are the chosen.
It is my feeling there is one who seems called to find ancestors.
To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of fact, but instead,
breathing life into all who have gone before.
“We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one.
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 they fought to make and keep us a Nation.
It goes to a deep and immense understanding that
they were doing it for us.
That we might be born who we are.
That we might remember them. So we do.
“Their love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence,
because we are them and they are us.
It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call
and take their place in the long line of family storytellers.”
