Thanks to everyone who helps with the updates! I so appreciate it!

If you are a relative and would like a family member's memorial page transferred to you, please sent your FG member number, how you are related and something about that person and I will be happy to transfer as long as they are not my own family.

If you have edits or corrections, please use the edit link and please be nice. I believe we should honor our loved ones and help one another out.

We are the chosen. 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. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe.

Lord, help me dig into the past
And sift the sands of time,
That I might find the roots that made
This family tree of mine.

Lord, help me trace the ancient roads
On which my father's trod,
And led them through so many lands
To find our present sod.

Lord, help me find an ancient book
Or dusty manuscript,
That's safely hidden now away
In some forgotten crypt.

Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts
My soul when I can't find,
The missing link between some name
That ends the same as mine.
