We are the chosen...
My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the 
ancestors.
To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story 
and to feel somehow they know and approve.
To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, 
breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the 
tribe.... All tribes have one... We have been called as it were, by our genes.
Those who have gone before cry out to us; TELL OUR STORY!!! So, we do. In 
finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before 
now and cried?? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors 
you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us!!
How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow that there was 
love there for me?? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It 
goes to who I am and why I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery 
about to be lost forever  to weeds and indifference and saying I CAN"T let 
this happen!! The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It 
goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were 
able to acomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to 
respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, 
their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep 
pride that they fought to make us a Nation. It goes to deep and immence 
understanding that they were doing it for us! That we might be born who we 
are. That we might remember them. So we do.
With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are 
them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family.
It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take 
their place in the long line of family storytellers. 
That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and 
old to step up and put flesh on the bones...
