Genealogy begins as an interest,

then Genealogy becomes a hobby,

then Genealogy continues as an advocation,

and in the last stages Genealogy is an incurable disease."

THE STORY TELLERS by unknown 

We are the chosen. My feelings are, in each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all those who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story.
