Family History Work
It's been a while since I have been able to post on this blog. I had lost my password. Also, I have been doing a different route of family history work. I have been having a lot of "success," really, it's miracles in finding ancestors on my father's line. I even found relatives living in Utah that are Mormon like me, and one of these cousins does a lot of family history work. It's incredible!
I found one line of grandfathers up to my Great-Great Grandfather on my father's line. It's amazing to me to think I went from thinking I didn't have grandparents (my dad actually told me this as a child) and believing I was a bit of an oddity. I was like a pod-person or something. It was strange how I did and didn't accept what he told me about my family tree. I ALWAYS dreaded that assignment at school. You know the one, "Okay, children tomorrow I want you to bring your family trees to class and we can discuss them." It was very upsetting. This is when I got the line, "No tenemos eso. Tu no tenes abuelos."
I know better now. Just because they are dead, doesn't mean they are no longer my family. I now know that my family can be together forever. It was a promise I made for my dad when he passed away, and I honestly believe he is helping me from the other side of the veil.
I will be trying to post more as I can, but I won't post many pictures here. I will post the remainder of my photos on familysearch.org as I trust this site will make sure these pictures will be available for many, many years to come. I want my children's children to know where they came from and the stories of their ancestors. I am hoping my siblings will want to add to these stories here, and will let me know if it's okay to make this blog public. I worry if something should ever happen to me this blog will be lost again, and no one in my family will be able to find it again. Also, I want to link this blog to familysearch.org for generations to come to find and read about their ancestor's lives.
