[or-roots] Personal History

[Aileen Itzen]

Congratulations!  Everyone should leave a history for their family.  Some
years ago a cousin wrote his family history in a manner that would be
understood 75+ years from now.  i.e. described Boeing and the planes they
built.  It is amazing what you can remember when you sit down and think
about it.  Again I congratulate you for your work.  Aileen

Mother and my Dad told me very little about my ancestors. That is why I got
into this Genealogy Stuff.  I wish my Mom and Dad had told me more about
their life and Grand mothers and fathers. But they didn't.
