Hello Mr. Mick, I have never thought of this isssue before, but I believe I would have to agree with you. One of my earliest memories is looking up at a large hand painted portrait of my Great Grandmother Susie Jane Campbell. Even though she was painted in her 40's, and I was just a little girl, I could see that her face and my own were the same face. I came out looking like neither my Mom nor Dad, but came out looking like my great grandma. Is that what has made me search for my Campbell roots? I don't know, but perhaps my Genetic make-up is calling me to look back? There is a book, called "Pride of Tigers" by Sybil Marshall. She is British, and came to live in USA later in life, and was a lifelong educator. The book is her own family reminences, about a very unique place in England, which was a Swampy area, so it was drained by "fens" and dikes, sort of like draining low areas in Holland. She felt her own genetic heritage was Celtic, and she talks about that. She also talks about her own theory of Genetic Memory. Meaning, that we have some memories which are not from our own lifetime, but have been buried deep within each of us from our genetic make-up, our ancestors. An Ancestral Memory which is born inside us. I had not given it much thought, but perhaps there is something to the idea. It is at least something to think about. I am Scots, Irish, German,and English ethnically speaking. Best regards, Lilly Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard C.

I was born in the southwest. My parents where in the service so we moved quite a bit. I eventually married and settled in Ohio where I began my addiction with genealogy. To my knowledge I had no ancestral ties to Ohio. After traveling to western PA to do some research at a library, I decided to drive around a small town some of my ancestors lived in for a short time. I came upon a fairly well hidden cemetery. It was a lovely warm fall day so I decided to walk up to the office and see if I could find any relatives in their burial index. The superintendent was about to leave but was kind enough to let me look at the records for a few minutes. Within a short time I found my third great grandfather was buried there. Not only was this a shock - but I then saw where he was born, in the very same small village in Ohio in which I now resided! After some very exciting local research I discovered he lived within walking distance of my current home. I believe in genetic memory and the "calling" back to home by your ancestors.
