I found the following
site that is quite helpful. I'm going to have to bookmark it, because I know
I will run across something again that I will wonder about. <grin>
And there are more links at the bottom of this site for terminology in
regards to abbreviations, diseases, occupations, etc.

This came across another one of my lists, and I just wanted to pass it
on.

The Story Tellers.....
We are the chosen. My feelings are in each family there is one who
seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and
make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow
they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of
facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are
the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called,
as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell
our story. So, we do.
In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I
stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told
the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How
many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love
there for me? I cannot say.
It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do
the things I do? It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost
forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen.
The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing
something about it. 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.
With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we
are
themand and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my
family.
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.
That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young
and old
to step up and put flesh on the bones.

Jan, this concerns a photo album that was sent to me that has probably four generations of wonderful family pictures in it. I have no idea of who might belong but it goes back to the 1920's or farther and would mean so much to someone.
Would you like to get back to me? You can do that personally if you like.

Thanks Gregg. Yup, that's a whopper! <G> Did you get a bounce notice
when you tried to post to the list? I should also have gotten one but did
not. The reason I ask, is because I have been having a lot of trouble with
my server bouncing my mail lately. Must be the heat! Ha!
