Say My Name

I came across this atical and felt I had to share it with you, my readers. What a fasinating concept. Please enjoy the reading:

"To speak the name of the dead is to make him live again. . ."

Welcome!

Genealogy is my passion. For over twelve years, I have travelled around the United States visiting archives, libraries and relatives to dig up all the information I can find about my ancestors. I can trace my lineage back from my grand nieces and nephews to the 16th century--11 generations!



This site is for sharing information, stories and photos that I have found in my search. "Say My Name" is the title of my findings which was first published in 2003. Instead of trying to distribute it in hard copy, I am making it available online to family members and other interested parties.

Enjoy!
