We Are the Sum of our Ancestors

Each individual, be they male or female, has contributed genetically or behaviorally to who we are. The link stretches back centuries and is there whether we realize it or not. Knowing the past is the foundation for building our future. We can take what was good, learn from our ancestors' mistakes, and move forward.

We, too, will become our descendants' past, so when doing your genealogical research, do not forget to include present-day information. Including that step will make it easier for the generations to come to find their own link to the people who came before them.
