<DIV>
<DIV>Bob,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your input. You're certainly right!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When doing my family research I get so excited to find even the little
bit of personal information. The only thing that I know about my great
grandfather is "he played the mouth harp and danced a good jig", and to me
it means so much!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Everybody listen to Bob and write your Personal History!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So Bob, <FONT color=#008000><STRONG>How 'bout those
DUCKS!? </STRONG></FONT> Just kidding. </DIV>

<DIV>Becky: When I started in this Geneaology search, I realized
that I didn't know my Grandfather Goodman's First name. Well
I've got that all sorted out, but my point is that my parents and I'd
guess Yours, didn't write a Personal History! </DIV>
<DIV>I have done so now. In earlier days this was the Family Bible,
but now a-days we don't keep any record of our Family's History.</DIV>
<DIV>I've been told by experts that we all ought to do this, for our kids
and grand kids etc. I only knew my parents, and a couple of uncles
and cousins. No Idea of my ancestors and their history.</DIV>

<DIV>Well, I have been copying stories and going to some of the listed
websites and adding information from them to my family genealogy
information! The stories involve the history of my parents and of me! I
have grandchildren. Isn't that what genealogy is all about. Telling
stories to our grandchildren? I</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It sparked my memory and it gave me pictures to show my kids and
grandkids so they would understand what I'm talking about. When we go to
Janzen Beach Mall and ride the merry go round together, now they'll be
able to see what the amusement park looked like and understand how old
the horses are (and that they were carved by prisoners! I'd
never heard about that before). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It might not be history from 200 years ago, but it is history about
my family's day to day life. That's important to me! Thank you everybody
for your input. </DIV>
