"If I want my children and grandchildren to know those who still live in my memory, then I must build the bridge between them. I alone am the link to the generations that stand on either side of me. It is my responsibility to knit their hearts together through love and respect, even though they may never have known each other personally. My grandchildren will have no knowledge of their family’s history if I do nothing to preserve it for them. That which I do not in some way record will be lost at my death, and that which I do not pass on to my posterity, they will never have." ~ Elder Dennis B. Neuenschwander, Ensign, May 1999, pages 83-84~

Follow Friday - and Follow-Up Friday

Follow Friday - As I have only been at this blogging business for a few days, I know that I have not even begun to scratch the surface of the blogs that are out there.  That being the case, there have been a three bloggers who have left me comments of encouragement so as a shout-out to them I wish to make you acquainted with their blogs - if you are not already.

CMPointer - Family Stories
Heather Rojo - Nutfield Genealogy
Mary - Mary's Musings

Thank you all for your kind words.
