The
Story
Tellers.....
We are
the chosen.
My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find
the
ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to
tell
the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve.
To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead,
breathing life into all who have gone before.
We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have
been
called as it were, by our genes.
Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In
finding them, we somehow find ourselves.
How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have
lost
count.
How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family,
you
would be proud of us?"
How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was
love
there for me? I cannot say.
It goes beyond just documenting facts.
It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do?
It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and
indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are
bones
of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it.
It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How
they
contributed to what we are today.
It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in
or
giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their
family.
It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation.
It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for
us.
That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do.
With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because
we
are them and they are us. (For we without them cannot be made perfect.)
So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that
one
called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place
in
the long line of family storytellers.
That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those
young
and old to step up and put flesh on the bones.
