I knew no one would care. But if you want to test the validity of family history, I mean if you want to know whether or not it matters to "them" just start doing it and see. You may think your family here is messed up, but a couple of generations back can make a lot of difference, and these people still care about you, and they want you to remember them. Family history is like a connecting link between heaven & earth. It can be a very rewarding hobby, a positive thing that you can do when you don't feel like doing anything. It's the kind of work that will count 1000 years down the road. If you only knew. As soon as you begin you will realize they still live. You will have little coincidences, you'll find names you have been searching for, and the work itself will come alive in you.
Well, I'm just trying to start a conversation, as it seems rather dead around here. And, once again I've probably killed it.
