My dad remembered doing a family tree project when he was in school, and he thought that it may still be somewhere in his family home. I have yet to find it among the boxes of stuff I have, but I did find a rough draft that my grandmother wrote for his project.
As I looked over what she wrote, I was happy to see that it confirmed a lot of my own research. There's even some new clues that I am excited to follow. It is so nice to know that my grandparents knew so much about their family tree and that their family history meant so much to them.
I feel so blessed to have found the this rough draft, but I would love to see the actual family project that my dad did.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
