Time to Think of How We Think. I found a saying on Facebook written by ??? but it struck a chord with me. Time to Think of How We Think. On- Webpage, Ancestor Seekers by the Root Bound. Susi's Quarter Susi's Quarter Published • Apr 8 I trust you will go there and read what I wrote. Hoping it will help us all realize we are one people on this earth. We have no opened concrete data if people are other places in the UNIVERSE. My parents taught me to respect all people. Thankfully because DNA shows we have a very distant relationship attaached to many old world groups. Understanding why Dad and his Jewish friend used to tease DAD he had to be part Jewish the way he haggled. Yes he won sometimes also. Yup we are. I hope Dad has met many of our past kin. The DNA makes life far more interesting. We need to let go of some thoughts on ability to welcome more of our truly enlarged families that we do have. OOO I am sure it grates on many and makes others say OOO NOOO. But you can take the royalty of Europe, where many lines crossed and shared and got out of hand at times. You will learn much studying Ancient History. If you are just starting research, it is enough to just sometimes find an immediately family member. It gets more intense with the third and 4th generatios of reseach. Those being your Grandparents or Great Grandparents. Being blessed with a Grandfather whose family had much data known and perserved and saved, it was a great help but still the Cedar River, went over it's banks in Iowa and much data was waterlogged and taken to the dump. WORD of ADVISE if WET FREEZE IT. I have tried with small document to see if it would work it did. NOW whether you have boxes full that is probably another matter. Cousin used hair dryer on some. Called me as he was preparing to take the last batch to the dump. Would love to have society have someone from Archives give us more knowledge on this process. The entire USA has had intense weather and flooding and I am sure many of genealogists and learning to be Genealogists would love to get this type of information for saving their data. We on Mom's side were blessed they kept the family story, at least one of them pretty well intack. Going to start writing the stories Grandad Cecil Leroy Hoffman, used to tell us everytime we went back to Wyo to see family. He would take my two other cousins & I , both male, 1 older one younger than I. Line us up on hay bailer and tell us the same story over and over for years. Alas I am the last of the three left. But that one story proved true when I was helping another person with their research. I am tracking two more stories one is really interesting but not gaining any ground. This was on his wife, our Grandma Inez Mar SCott's side of the family. Do you have old stories you can track and see if true? Do you have memorabilia that leaves you wonder what it was for or why your family has it? Many times you do not need to leave your home to start your research the questions are on the shelves in the drawers or Picture Albums. Jewelry boxes or Glove boxes used for the few pieces of jewelery they have as Inez did hers. I have the glove box Sis has the jewelery item. Same color as her birthmonth stone. Sometimes pictures give clues to past heritage, some times old passed down letters or tapestry embroderied gives you clues I hope this helps you to open your mind to your heritage and background and not be afraid of whom we have been and whom we have become. Thanks for listening. This is my Easter Gift to you all.
