So I've been working on family stuff for a while now. By family stuff I mean genealogy. I have some great stuff, thanks to my mother. Some really old stuff like handwritten birth records of my great grandfather's children ( all 13 of them), by my great grandfather. Photographs of my gg grandparents. I even have my great grandmother's wedding shoes. All of this stuff was taken out of a family garage a few months before one of my mother's cousins accidently started a fire, when she was a child. And then there's the family tree. I have close to two thousand people listed but some of them are branches that are very distantly related. It's interesting and I enjoy it.
I recently started a project for one of my husband's cousins. I'm still working on it but I gave him want I had so far, which was about four pages of family history, records and such. He was very happy with it. Actually, he really liked the file folder I put the pages in most of all! Such a guy thing. I put the information in digital scrapbook form. Like I said, I'm still working on it.
Remembering family, past and present, is important to me. That's why I did the video biography on my dad. I miss him. I think I'll order a pisa (aka pizza), play UNO (by myself?), and watch my Papa on the tv screen talk about how my sister and me brought him "a feeling of complete joy".
