Have
you ever wondered about history? How about the history of your
family? How about a place - have you ever stood in any place at any
time and wondered what the trees around you have been witness to? I do
it almost all the time. I don't see it as dwelling in the past but
rather having the knowledge of what has gone before you helping to
guide you into your future. We've all heard the old adage - those who
do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.
Each generation takes action to try and improve the lives of their children and children's children and it is important for us to take stock in what has been accomplished and what failures were made, what bad decisions did to the communities and what good decisions did to the communities.
These pages will contain some of my families genealogical information but also the history that surrounds our families and our countries. Anyone wishing to contribute, please contact me at redgenealogy@hotmai.com.
The more information there is to share, the better off we all are! Take care and God bless!
