Hi, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the importantce of talking to your ancestors. I remember the conversations, that I paid no attention to, I had with my grandmother sitting on her lap as a little girl (long before child safety seats) and her talking about cousin this and that and etc. When I started doing my genealogy many of these names started to ring a bell. In the middle 70's when I started doing genealogy, after joining the church, I went to talk to several of the family genealogist. One in particular had spent the last 20+ yrs working on my grandfathers line and had many records. The first thing she told me was that she had received no help for other family members even to the point of not receiving birthdates and that if I wanted to work on this family I could find the infomation my self as she had done. My husband, aunt and myself got tin the car and started to leave. As we were leaving she came running out of the house and invited us back in and oppened all of her records for me to see and make notes of. I also went to see my father's aunt, his mothers sister, I did not know much about this family as I lived with my mother 's family most of my life. She and I went to cenentaries, through family records and etc. This again gave me names that would have taked a while to find otherwise. The older generation, I guess that is me now, love to talke to the younger generations about their families and how they lived. If you hve not done this I would strongley suggest that you do so. ____ Linda Harris 1872 Regents Park Ct Marietta GA 30062 770 578-0105 Researching in eastern NC and VA and southern PA
