I believe that any family history should include both the "heroes" and the "scoundrels". I heard a great line recently. The gist was "there is a little scoundrel in every hero and a little hero in every scoundrel". Both should be included in the family story. No matter which, he/she contributed to the makeup of who we are as a family. The scoundrels are what make the story interesting. I would hope that everyone reading would agree that we are all human. Mistakes and wrong decisions happen. We should just move on. In addition, whether or not someone said or did something that you agree with should not determine their worthiness to be included in the family story.
FAMILY:
I will be sharing stories about noteworthy ancestors whether she/he be a hero or a scoundrel. If you don't want to know about the scoundrels, you might not want to follow this blog.
I will also be sharing genealogy articles, tips/tricks, and other things I find of interest (i.e. pictures of owls). Or venting about my frustrations and celebrating my breakthroughs.
