A Tale of Two Towns ...

Genealogy is a hot topic for a lot of families.
Finding ancestors and learning their stories
is fascinating as well as satisfying.

We all have a story to tell, a book to write …
and someday – whether in the near or far future –
someone will be researching us.
They'll want to know who we were and what we did,
where we lived and where we are buried.
They'll want to know whose lives we touched
and how they are linked to us.

A year or so ago, we traveled to a town
about two hours south of 'home' …
to try to find the house where my dad was raised.
I only knew it as '208' …
that's what it was called while I was growing up.

I never knew any of my grandparents;
Ed had the privilege of grands and great-grands
on both sides of his family.
His great granddad even had twin sisters,
Annie and Fannie.

It seems the older we get,
the more we want to find with our history ...
To know something more about our connections
with past generations.

Both of our trips were completely enjoyable –
and a great excuse for a mini-vacation!
Both were successful as well.

If you've not done it yet, plan a weekend or more
on the trail of your family.
I've written to cousins that I haven't talked with in years.
And they responded with stories I'd never heard before.

I hope you have the same wonderful experiences.

Until next time, remember -
Life is a journey. Travel first class!
