Please, It is usually in good taste NOT to post the names and dates of the living people to a broad list. For example, credit card companies will ask for mothers maiden name as a security measure, well if you have posted your line, then that information is now in Public Domain. Just a thought!!!!!!!

Tim, Do you make a decision about what is sent to the archives. Hopefully everything written does not go to the archives. I wondered about the policy. Ida

Jan---I enjoyed your reflections on the why of all this. I have always been a person who is always asking (things). When I began to be curious about our roots my Dad would talk and talk. My Mother was just the opposite. Anyway, none of my immediate family have any wish or patience for searching, so I have asked my daughter to please pack all my "stuff" and store when I am gone. Maybe down the line one of my descendants will be curious. HKB

Kathy, I guess i dosed off again. Who is the parents of Malissa Kathryn Joiner that married DeWitt Edward Chapman???? Timothy C.

Afternoon All, Last week I spoke on the words my grandfather spoke as he gave up his last tenuous grasp on our family's ancestral home and lands in LBL, "I will neither look back, nor be back". I described for you the autumn day in 1967 that marked the end of a season in a family. Today I want to describe for you what that did in terms of being one of the major reasons why I do what I do these days on the net, for myself and for others....and I have an idea, that similar circumstances are the reason many of you are here as well. I think more than a few of you will identify with my thoughts and motivations here... My cousin and I loved that homeplace dearly, as many of you loved a similar place that now exists only in your minds and hearts. I frequently "walk" through it, escaping todays to yesterdays and memories, willing myself to remember the touch of fabric, the coolness of hardwood floors on my bare feet, the weight of a fat white china cup in my hands, the way the afternoon sun slanted and cast shadows on the floor of a long front porch. Those memories are a comfort to me, because beyond the "things" I have that were there, they are all I have left of the place I knew. I know that many of you feel the same, and have another place you "walk" for comfort at times. But those memories I have, and you have, will be gone all too soon, leaving this world at the same time that we do...just as the memories of our grandfathers and great-grandmothers left with them, and unless they are given and passed on, it is as if those things had never been other than what "facts" are left behind on scraps of paper. This came to me in a very real way recently when the daughter of my first cousin (who is now gone to the next world) contacted me. A young mother, the family's heritage is beginning to be of importance to her. And she asked for my memories, the memories her mother died before she could pass on...and so I have begun to write them for her and to give her what I cannot leave in any tangible form other than description. I have walked her through the family homeplace willing her to see through my eyes, and I have introduced her to the great-grandfather she never knew, trying to give her a balanced picture of him, the good and the bad, making him human and of breathing living flesh for her. For the same reason, documenting the family line in that country is also important. I want to know who the grandparents of my grandfather were, because I have no memories of him telling me about them. I know he must have treasured memories of those who lived in his time, and I know he must have treasured the stories that he heard of those who did not. Because it was important to him, and knowing him, I know it was...it is also important to me. My grandfather was of another world and time, as many of yours were. And in that day and time, the passing on of roots came through the oral tradition. They little understood that the coming ways of this world would leave little inclination or time for oral passing of roots...and that unless a generation following them had the wisdom to record it, all was lost. I rue that I was young when he sat so long talking his long tales of "who begat who" and of things that had happened, where they happened, and those who peopled those stories. I am frustrated that I, as did his children, "tuned" much of this out. It is not just a matter of "proving" a lineage...much, much more, it is a matter of salvaging that which was important to one I loved...and giving it to those like my cousin's children and my own children.... passing on the things that were of importance in an endless chain of loving memories. I cannot turn back the clock, and I cannot make my grandfather be here again with me at a time in which I am ready and mature enough now to listen to his endless stories that wound on hour after hour....but I still draw breath, and I can piece together what I can find, add to that what I do remember...and give the next generation something far more precious than the money this family never had would be anyway. We no longer have our home in LBL, and even the family burial grounds where my great grandfather, great great grandfather and possibly before that are buried, have been taken from us. All we have is our history....and so you see why it is important beyond description why it is so important. It is all we have left of our roots. And I suspect that many of you, if for whatever reason your ancestral lands and homeplace are gone, feel the same. Please remember this when others contact you or post to a list. Their reasons may have nothing to do with wanting to join an elite organization, may have nothing to do with idle curiosity, may have nothing to do with simple scholarship and an abiding love of research....more often, I am finding, it is a situation in which family history is an anchor to hold to in this fast-paced and all too impersonal world. It is a situation in which all the heritage or "home" a family has left is its history. It is a situation in which a person regrets not finding important those things elders talked of at the time they talked of them, and with maturity wants to salvage what they can of the memories of elders who went on before them. Your words and help are often far more important than you can possibly realize, and will cause a heart to leap, bring tears to an eye in gratitude. In other words, it is often a matter of the "heart" and any small tidbit or fact, any direction you can find time to give, is more meaningful than gold to that person who longs so desperately to find his or her humble link in a long chain...and pass it on, giving the generation to come roots and a sense of belonging in a world that is uncertain. just a thought, jan John 3:16 Future Resident, artist, scribe-in-residence, general troublemaker of the Old Genealogists Home, best kept secret in America Listowner: [email protected] [email protected] Listowner: [email protected]

The other is "The Rasco Family History by Georgia Benton Fort Worth, Texas (Loose Lief). There are others. Hope this helps. James R. Rasco
