We went to a program at my sisters church on our family heritage
i konw for some this sounds dry -but I thoroughly enjoyed myself
this flag shows a family tree w/ two little apples in (totally appropriate)Kerchief material representing the couple here in TX away from the rest of the family.
there was a family Parade to start to include the children understanding where some of there relatives came from
there was some live music then a short Program this man did a dramatic/comedic presentation on his great grandfather who married his bride very young and traveled to America from Mexico
This is the geneolgy he has unearthed so far
This energetic cutiehad a ancestor that used to
perform during intermissions of silent movies so
she did a Charleston for us to remember her
My sister has done so much Family History that we have learned we are way more German than we thought
her husbands heritage is Puerto Rican
She did an awesome dramatic performance that took us back to the time just before, during, and after our Grandfathers Grandmother came by ship from Europe to America- She had the accent down so well-I think she belongs to the part of our family that got the acting gene. I was moved to tears as she asked in character if anyone would remember her as she came from the familiar into this unknown country of hope- AMERICA!
the evening conclude w/ the events coordinator also doing a moving presentation of her ancestor who had to bury over half her children in her lifetime

What a great story. Genealogy definitely links the past to the present and helps us realize our place here.
That looks like a fun and interesting event. Great shots.
I do think that finding our roots to find where we came from or who we really are is a very interesting thing to do and not lame at all.Great photos that comes with a great story. :)
That's an interesting story and great photos too.
what an interesting post! i've been digging my family history for a few years now, and it's always fun and exciting. sure there are some heart-breaking story along the way, but it always teaches us the why and how our family came to be.
This is a very interesting presentation. I also like to trace my roots. Very nice and informative photos.
Interesting indeed. We are also in the midst of doing our genealogy and it is not easy but very enlightening. It also brings the family closer, I think. It's always nice to know about your roots, good or bad.
That's a fun event. I would like to know my family tree too.
I luv geneology!! My sis has (white)daughters who have only wanted to date black men. When they did their geneology they discovered way back when they actually have black relatives. They weren't just attracted but atually had it in their DNA. All 3 of her daughters have married black men. Wonderful people. Interesting huh?
Very interesting!
Fun filled weekend, the shots are GREAT!
