FALL, 2011

We are finally getting some much anticipated cooler weather. I am sure we will have some additional hot days but Fall is around the corner. I have been doing a Family History Book on the genealogy of a friend of my daughters. It has been fun and challenging. I compare Genealogy to putting the pieces of a puzzle together. But at times, I hit what we call 'Brick Walls'. That elusive ancestor just doesn't want to appear. The information on him might be vague or non-existent. The times when you stumble onto a piece of information unexpectedly, makes it all worthwhile. I always think this about my Ancestors: If it had not been for them, I would not be here today. For reasons that I don't understand fully, I was suppose to be here, at this time in history. My ancestors made the way for me and I thank them.
