Not long ago, a man from FamilySearch.org met with a group that I am involved in about a project they want us to do for them (another visit tomorrow with the Big Whigs). As you may or may not know, I am very interested in genealogy. If I can do something to help others down their ancestral path, then I am all for it. Over the next couple of years, we will be involved with the folks from Utah to scan and upload information to their website plus it will also be transferred to an additional website so that people like you and me can research our family history for free. The book we are working on is well under way and should be completed this year too (we are crossing our fingers). There are only four more sections at the cemetery to photograph and then we will begin to put our complied information together. I am very excited to be involved in such wonderful projects.
Someone said to me over the weekend that we are chess pieces that are moved around for our greater good. Things happen for a reason...This is when "Dreams become things". Dreams were never meant to stay in our heads but to become a reality. I never dream't that my search, which started ever so many years ago, would take me to where I am now.
When I was recently asked what was one of my major accomplishments was for my life, I quickly piped up and said that becoming a DAR was something that I only dreamed of becoming in the last few years, which became a reality back in October. I am going to keep dreaming. But more than that, I am going to make them come alive with good intentions and lots of determination. Prayer doesn't hurt either.
Now, if I could just get to England for a visit then I would be extremely happy...
