The Importance of Family History
Family histories can be complex woven tapestries that shine a light on our ancestors, their extraordinary lives, struggles, hardships, joys, and accomplishments. It gives us perspective and context, therefore it is imperative that their stories be memorialized for future generations. We stand on their shoulders and they have helped to shape who we are today.
