It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. Many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. How many times have I told the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How How many graves have I stoodīefore now and cried? I have lost count. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. We have been called as it were by our genes. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. Them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. My feelings are that in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. This was sent to me by a friend, and it fits how I feel about my family genealogy. James1 Wood was born in Ireland, and died Bef.
