Family Roots

Many things have contributed to the rise in interest in genealogy in recent years. The spread of higher education, greater wealth in the middle class, longer lives and freedom from major war have all probably played a part. And while those luxuries are not available everywhere, certainly the western world has enjoyed the bulk of these.

Moreover, the interest in family history is a response to greater complexity in life and to the speed of change.

Over the last several decades the great institutions that previously provided a sense of continuity - the churches, the state institutions, the universities - have themselves become victims of change. At a time of rapidly expanding frontiers, the domestic family becomes more important in explaining who we are and where we fit.

Genealogy

 

I engage in family research from time to time. I have met with a surprising amount of success over the years and managed to reconnect with branchs of my family long lost to me.

I have decided to begin making a portal that will feature articles and stories on my family, their history and their lives. While not every story is an epic, each is unique in it's own way and taken as a whole, it is amazing to see what these people did and how those they left behind have rippled across the North American continent.

These are their stories...
