Re: [lace-chat] Family history
Hello Jean I've never had any need to research in NZ but I'd suggest that you get the death certificate for the man buried in the 1940s. http://www.bdm.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Births-Deaths- and-Marriages-Index?OpenDocument Brenda On 25 Mar 2007, at 14:17, Jean Peach wrote: It is a long time since I posted anything to the list.

[lace-chat] Family History
"The Story TellersWe are the chosen ones." (or why I am obsessed/fascinated with Genealogy. My feelings are that in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors: to put flesh on their bones and make them live again..to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing Genealogy, is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before us. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us - "tell our story" - and so we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried.? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors "you have a wonderful family. You would be proud of us all". How many times have I walked up to a grave and somehow felt there was love for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond documenting facts. It goes to who I am and why I do the things I do. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us as a nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us that we might be born who we are: that we might remember them. And so we do, with love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, to tell the story of my family, it is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family story- tellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones. Love David -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[lace-chat] family history - help?
Hi, David and others, can you help? - Sally's e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sally, on the quilting list (BQOT), sent this enquiry: Are there any Australians on this list who are interested in family history? If so, please e-mail me off list. Thanks. Sally Barlow in Cheshire. And I said: Hi, Sally - I don't know about this list, but there are one or two on the lace list - are you interested? If so, then I'll post your enquiry on that list. BFN, Margery. And she said: Hallo Margery, Thanks for the offer - I would appreciate it. I have in my possession a bronze WW1 memorial plaque (King's Penny) which I found when clearing my father's house.I am fairly sure that it doesn't belong in my family and I believe that the dead soldier was Australian. As I am going to Australia( a P&Q related trip) in about seven weeks time, I thought that I might take it with me if I could find a home for it. Regards, Sally. BFN, Margery.
