Our  Family  Heritage                   

AN  OLD  SAYING:

If  you  don't  care  about  your  heritage,
don't  worry.

Just  ignore  it.     It  will  go  away.

Then you'll never see it again.

This site is for families who care about their heritage.

You are not a passive viewer of past lives.

You are a living link to them.

You can discover how you came here.

See how other families' heritage got lost . . .   Here.

Lost  Faces ...     Here.    and here.     and here.     and here.     and here.

. . .   In their families   . . .

After generations of caring  . . .  one person came along who did not care.

It takes just one person who does not care . . . then it is lost forever.

In a family's heritage, each new link must be made strong.

If the link breaks, the chain falls away forever.

History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past,
trying to reconstruct its scenes to revive its echoes,
and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days.

...  Winston Churchill

We must   always   treasure our heritage.

Our Family Heritage

Our family's past generations
could not know us.

But they knew
we would be here
someday.

With loving hands
they preserved this rich heritage
for us.

Now they have put it
into  our  hands.

After coming through
so many generations
of  loving  care . . .

Let  us   not
be the first generation
who lost it.

We see these amazing stories of our family's life.

We also learn about human values.

These are true stories.  They may someday benefit our children.

Our family lived through pioneering times.  They came to new lands, made new lives.
They took care to save these treasures for us.

At any moment, amid the challenges they faced,
our family could have let these memories slip away.
But they saved them for us.

Let's preserve our rich heritage with the same loving care,
and give it onward to our future generations.
