Hello! I have fallen in love with genealogy over the past several years. I am researching my George family roots in Eastern Pennsylvania. The history I have learned as a result of the time spent searching for my Families roots, has made this hobby a passion for me. I would like everyone to know that should you like any help researching in the Greater Lehigh Valley area you need only ask and I will be glad to help. Here is hoping that our joint interest in genealogy will make friends and an extended family of us all.

A person with no sense of the past is a person who is a stranger both to his or her own roots and to the human condition more generally. For human beings are not creatures of nature; we are inheritors of the history that has made us what we are. Not to know our history is not to know ourselves, and that is the condition not of human beings, but of animals. And even from a practical point of view, to be ignorant of the past is to make us impotent and unprepared before the present. --Anthony O'Hear

I just found this amusing:
An elderly woman died last month. Having never married , she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, 'They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.'
