CHILDREN'S PAST LIVES
How Past Life Memories Affect Your Child

"Another form of knowledge beyond experience is the ability of small children to speak in an unknown language that they could not possibly have learned through ordinary means. This phenomenon is called xenoglossy. Since language requires months and years of repetition and practise to learn, science is at a loss to explain how anyone, especially a young child, could speak a language that he has never been exposed to. In the context of past lives, however, xenoglossy is simply another example of something learned in the past that carries over to the present life.


Quoting a case in "Reincarnation: The Phoenix Fire Mystery," Bowman says that a prominent New York physician and his wife found their twin baby boys conversing between themselves in an unknown vernacular. The children were eventually taken to the foreign language department of Columbia University where none of the professors could identify their speech...until a professor of ancient languages happened to pass by and was amazed to discover that they were speaking ARAMAIC, a language current at the time of Jesus Christ....


"The boys weren't just mimicking a few words: they were conversing with enough proper Aramaic syntax and vocabulary for the expert to be able to recognize the language.

In one case as two year old boy remembering the life of a 19th century sailor, used terms like "spanker" sail. and when he knocked over a jelly jar, asked his mother if he would have to do "haze," the correct term for punishment in vintage sailor slang..."

DO YOUR TINGING FINGERS LEAD YOU TO THE RIGHT INFORMATION ?

I've been told by one researcher that he actually feels his fingers tingle when he is getting real close to the information he's seeking!

SUNDAY JUNE 21st 2009 IS FATHERS DAY - TODAY!

In genealogy we often find much more information - documents - for the males than the females, and the fathers more than the mothers. Reading through microfilms of Catholic Church records for small towns in Hungary, for instance, I found that baptismals (which usually closely followed births) did not always even mention the mother's name. When the surname is common, and the given names are repetitive, this represents a research block that can be impossible to get around. Jewish records for about the same time and place however not only gave the names of the parents but the midwife and the rabbi who circumcised the male child!

This emphasises the importance of keeping family records NOW for generations in the future!

SPOOKY ANCESTOR LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER ?????

Ever had a spook touch you on the shoulder when you were reading, concentrating deeply, spinning microfilm, or looking at your research work? This is the perfect time for a spook who really is an ancestor to try and contact you. And a touch on the shoulder that makes you look around is one of the classic ways they will make their presence known.

One person told me that they were struggling with trying to read some pretty difficult handwriting and had not not found the family they were looking for on a census. They were just about ready to give up when they felt one of the LDS missionaries who staff the local Family History Center, touch them on the shoulder. Except no one was there. And when they looked down to the microfilm desk again, they realized that their family group was right on that page!

We're readinig POSTCARDS FROM HEAVEN by DAN GORDON

The reviews make it sound very interesting and exactly what we like here!

As quoted in the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, "Gordon hails from 13 generations of Chassidic rabbis, and while his immediate family has long shed strict, Chassidic Jewish tradition, the stories in his book illustrate, in secular terms but with the skill of a master Chassidic raconteur, the presence of God in everyday life. "The recirculation of the soul,. kid of the belief in reincarnation, isn't foreign to Judaism at all or our literature," Gordon said.
