[or-roots] un thing - unspeakable

[Dan M]

I loved the stories.
   I think the stories are like those books
Told by the people, Told by the Pioneers etc:
   Really a part of genealogy, but heck we can do query at the same times.

  Well, I have been copying stories and going to some of the listed websites and adding information from them to my family genealogy information! The stories involve the history of my parents and of me! I have grandchildren. Isn't that what genealogy is all about. Telling stories to our grandchildren? I

  It sparked my memory and it gave me pictures to show my kids and grandkids so they would understand what I'm talking about. When we go to Janzen Beach Mall and ride the merry go round together, now they'll be able to see what the amusement park looked like and understand how old the horses are (and that they  were carved by prisoners! I'd never heard about that before).  

  It might not be history from 200 years ago, but it is history about my family's day to day life. That's important to me! Thank you everybody for your input.

          Did I miss something? Do you mean the ones who have been unsubscribing today? They must not have memories of Portland as we do. I feel bad for them, not experiencing what we have.. as in telling of our good times & happy memories has been so much fun for me.. I almost felt young again : )  & I agree with you Dan.
