And yes, while many might have overlooked a story like your uncle's, it's important to tell all those family stories, especially including the details. That five year old deserves to be remembered, too!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-39473202966045987702019-05-08T07:33:16.777-07:002019-05-08T07:33:16.777-07:00Happy 8th anniversary of blogging!

There are a few folks in my family who were "movers and shakers" but more just living out their lives as miners and farmers. But without them, I would not be here, nor their many descendants! Recently I researched an uncle who only lived to the age of five - dying as a result of complications of measles. It was important to tell his story too. Thanks for being our guinea pig and taking us along for the ride!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
