Dear Friends: >From 2000 onward I was the administrator of several family history sites which had been created to encourage communications among researchers with similar interests. For entertainment, and to have something new on the sites each day, I searched and found quotes about genealogy and history in general. I think that at one time I subscribed to a "quote a day" service also. At the same time I was struggling myself with a couple of big research and writing projects, so I was always interested in what authors had to say about their own perspectives and writing, research, and life in general. I added those quotations to my collections. We have now come to a time when the private research sites no longer have the use or readership they once did. As we are closing them down for lack of funding and interest, I took all my daily quotes and put them here both for myself and for the entertainment of others. Goodness! A lot of people have a lot to say about the struggles of research and writing! And also, because my sites were devoted to family history and, especially, the records of many families in early America, I found that I have some Patriotic quotes, some Cemetery restoration quotes, and, of course, some refugee quotes. !!!!!Twelve years ago, when I started the collection, it would have been difficult to track down the exact source for each quote. Nowadays, most of them can be easily found by copying the entire phrase, with quotation marks around it, into a search engine. This procedure is what I’d suggest for those of you who might want to include a quote in a work you are creating.!!!! So, for what it’s worth, here is my collection, with my favorite quote as Number One and with a humble attempt at indexing. Enjoy! http://askgrannyus.posterous.com/genealogical-quotations If you have additions, please send them to me for inclusion in the "2nd Edition!"
