A is for Ancestors –
Tracing Family history and knowing who our ancestors are can seem such a woven mess it’s hard to know how to even begin to untangle it all. Of my family, I know the basic stories about two of my four grandparents: Grandpa Reese’s family is from Trondheim, Norway, Grammy Day’s is from County Donegal, Ireland. Beyond that are cloudy bits of information with difficult to nail down specifics and it’s difficult to know where to head next for new information.
Have you considered that your story is part of the collective anthology of us, your global family. You are the lead character in your story so what does your chapter bring to the storyline? Wouldn’t it be fun to know? What a wonderful story to learn together as a family. Pick a week, or two, and take time as a family to discover your heritage and roots. What a great way to build memories and share rare experiences.
