What is it about mid-life that we all suddenly get interested in genealogy? Laura and I are working on ours and so are several of our friends. I guess we've lived long enough to know that the history of lives MATTERS.
My favorite quote related to this idea is engraved above a doorway in the New York State Pavilion from the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo:
Neh-ko, ga-gis-dah-yen-duk
Other council fires were here before ours.
Mostly that the Genes in Genalogy don't have to mean Destiny!
