It all happened when I was trying to figure out where the heck "Farnebo and Byurfors" were, and good ol' google pulled up another family history site with a similar quote! Spencer and I had a combined fifth Sunday this past week and it was about the difference between just doing genealogy (the names and dates) and doing family history (the "dash" as in 1850"-"1920) and thinking about their lives. They also talked about the importance of collateral lines . . . thinking about our cousins many times removed. This site is a brilliantly exhausting example of that. Hooray for random google searches. And thank you dear mother for giving weekly excuses to turn our hearts.
Here's the link if you want to go check it out.
WOW!!! This turning hearts stuff is really fun. Thank you so much for the effort in posting and being interested.
ReplyDeleteFun Rachy! OwenBTW... Our genealogy comes through John and Johanna's eldest son, John Enoch, who is not shown in the adjoining photo with his much younger siblings. John and Johanna had 3 children die in infancy after John Enoch over an 8 year period.
