Firefighters 1826 Volunteer Fire brigades to present

Each cemetery represents a chapter in history

Keeping peoples memories alive.

If not for everyone's ancestors none of us would be here.

"Genealogy begins as an interest,

Becomes a hobby,

Continues as a vocation,

Takes over as an obsession,

And in its last stages,

Is an incurable disease."

Quotes that make sense,

of who we are,

where we came from,

and why we must preserve our history,

our stories,

our pictures, so that our future generations can respect who they are, and, who they have become.

- So share your stories.

"If you don't know history, then you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree."

~Michael Crichton

"You've got to pass your stories along. Stories must be told or they will die." - (author unknown)

"Stories must be told or they will die, and when they die we can't remember who we are or why we are here." - (author unknown)
