Week 40: Wild Card. Is there something for which you are thankful that has not been discussed yet? Share your genealogical abundance on a personal level. How does this person/item/group/memory or other entity impact your family history?
Oh, wow. Yeah, I
say that a lot, but now I have a reason to ponder and think about a large
amount of stuff. It only took me until
today to figure out. Not bad, not bad at
all.
I have to be thankful for museums and historical
sites. Without these I would not be able
to see and experience aspects of my ancestor’s lives. Being able to experience history with all
your senses is a wonderful thing. Walking
in the places your ancestors were and imagining what it was like to stand there
when there were there are experiences that I treasure.
As a visual learner, who also needs to do things to
engrain them, I need more than just books and computer images to really
learn. Having the opportunity to travel
to places my family visited, battlefields they fought on, or stand in the
fields they worked means more to me than almost anything. They bring the person to life.
