I have recently really started to realise that I am not invincable and that someday I won't be here. This has led me to start the unravelling of the family tree. I figure that this is the best legacy for my children. Although they won't get it now, I figure when they are my age or a bit older they will truely appreciate knowing there heritage and where we came from. The struggles, joys and heartbreaks that there ancestors endured to get us where we are now.
However, I dare say I have made it rather hard for myself as I am not only doing my family but my husbands family as well. His family have proven rather simple as they are all still alive. My family, well that's a different story. My grandparents have all passed excpet for 1 and she has severe diamentia and doesn't know anything about herself.
I am relying on family stories to piece by piece uncover each member of the family. I dare say a big road trip may be on the cards..
Well I am enjoying none the less. Discovering where you come from really helps you to understand who you are and why you are the person you are.
