Family History Christmas

One of the nicest parts about getting together with my Grandmother and her siblings was listening to them tell stories on one-another. Like the time the brothers snuck (yeah I know it isn't a real word but it fits!) into the neighbor's watermelon patch to steal a melon just before harvest, or how the family of 13 lived in a one room dugout in Oklahoma and still made room for the bachelor that at the next filing and was too timid to sleep alone.

These are the memories that time will forget if we don't save them! It is up to you and me and all we know to keep the real history of America alive and true! Remember, genealogy is more than names, dates and places, it is the events that shaped a family and a nation!
