People come to that realization at different times--maybe the birth of a child, the passing of a grandparent, or other trigger event that makes us feel that family interconnectivity. Knowing what we are writing will be around for a long time helps us to reach those who don't yet know that they will someday really <i>want</i> to know.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-13381180542050811782017-06-16T23:09:10.818-07:002017-06-16T23:09:10.818-07:00What an eloquent way to put it, Colleen.

The cousin who knows why our great grandfather left the state; the cousin who has the worn copy of the family Bible; or the cousin who knows little but wants to learn about the family history. We are writing for them and for ancestors so they will be remembered.Colleen G.
