REMEMBER THE LADIES--Uncover the Stories from Your Feminine Line
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the time of one of your ancestors? Is there knowledge they can tell you today, and is there a way to "bring them to life" through stories.
Ancestry and genealogy together comprise the second largest avocation in America today, and many people have been delving into records to learn basic facts. But how can you get beyond those cut-and-dried dates of birth and death, number of family members and, if you are lucky, someone's avocation?
When we find answers to these questions, we feel a connection to our past, whether it is inherited traits, skills passed on through the generations, certain looks that make us who we are, or something hidden in our DNA.
In this book:
