GENEALOGY IS A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Genealogy is a different experience for different people:

A journey of discovery of family and self in contex, a detective hunt, a way to link to the past and learn history in a personal way that isn't what's taught in classrooms.

I feel as I find the evidence of a life in documents that I'm giving people who have passed into the next life (or maybe even reincarnated) a chance to be raised up fromn the grave to say "I Was Here, This Was My Life."
