Guess what the talks were about in church today? One of my favorite subjects,
Family History!
We had two speakers. They both did an excellent job. They were talking about how doing family history has been a neat experience and has blessed their lives.
The first speaker, Carolyn, talked about an aunt that lives across the country. This aunt is able to go to cemeteries that their ancestors are buried in and do some of their family history. She said that relationship has been so wonderful. She has learned so much from her aunt about her family’s history. I was wishing I had a distant relative like that. Maybe that is one thing I’ll have to work on.
The second speaker, Wendell, was talking about how he did a “google” search for his ancestor and didn’t find him. So he tried doing a google search for the wife of the man he had already looked for and found them both. Wow! He was even able to take a trip over to England and Wales to do research for his family. I would love that too! It was neat to hear how other’s are doing their family history and loving it.
