2021 Is Fading Away. Genealogy Is Here To Stay

2021 Is Fading Away. Genealogy Is Here To Stay We are so looking back and forward too. We lost family and friends and we gained family and friends. With the world all bouncing around with different directives. What is to come in our future, some societies have bit the dust, many have made major changes in their programs. Zoom is the answer for many to stay alive and even to expand. Zoom works in offices and businesses also. Suspect the JETSON Age is upon us and people are still longing for yesterday. Some major strides have taken place in DNA and Genealogy. Especially for those who did not have the joy of knowing their Great Grandparents or even Grandparents. Alas some who did not know their own parents. In days of the past, family generally took in the orphans and raised them so they still knew their kin. Somewhere between the Wars, Orphanages became a huge thing and children were left to fend with strangers. We humans are a hardy group and generally manage to survive. Those children were our (US) first indentured servants, or of slaves coming from the United Kingdom area or harbors they tied up at. Families that could not feed their own and were of men lost in wars fought. Ceasar had an quirck with that. He took captured personel and dispersed them amongst the areas whom men were lost in battle. There by changing many countries basic lineages. Not know how one can do genealogy with out knowing World History. History has solved many of my questions when doing research. DNA has come along and helped many to find their kin with much gratitude. We Jones have a situation happening like this. Those working the problem are closer to an answer than two years ago. DNA has really boosted the Genealogy Crowd. Amazingly we have done DNA on Animals for probably a few hundred years. Show Dogs, Horses, Cattle, Animals are kept and bred to bring out the best of their breeds. We humans are not so much into that today as to who was my Great Grandfather (??) was he German or Swiss or was he Italian, Ethiopian, Nigerian, or other countries of the world. As we settled this new Nation we came in groups from various areas. We are comfortable in our own skin, tongue and food area. Be it Dutch, French, German, Swiss, Italian, Greek, Russian, Egyptian, Samoan, Indian, Turkish, Arabian etc., they created their own communities. The nice thing was that over time they mnelded into each others life styles, foods and attitudes. So if you are born in the USA, most citizens are American's. Some by birth, some by changing countries allegance and citizenship. There is a system to do that if our government ever gets back to our laws. We are of multi nationalities of the past. WE must remember, we are American's First and our past is what we want to remember as a gift given by our Ancestors. Part 2 in a few days. Dad said, we were Heinz 57 and he was not far from right. No one is whom they think they are. As humans we have been here more years than thought.

IS THIS WORKING AGAIN... SUSI SAYS

IS THIS WORKING AGAIN----SUSI SAYS O Susi says lots of things. Whilte trying to get this back on line I have read some interesting materials. Two books about early America before it was America. When you are doing research, do you ever venture into Indian information and see if any of your data coincides with theirs? What about when the rails were laid for the trains to run? Train developing history in the USA has some very enlightening pieces of informnation for us to use. Again, "Have you studied the weather patterns of an area during the time period we are researching?" Sadly Lemon Grove Library had a set of Encyclopeida's on American Weather and when they remodeled they dissappeared and I have not found them on line any where. Wow did it ever answer many questions about some of my deceased ancestors and yours. One time as a ship tried to dock it was blown back out into the bay 3 times. Sadly many died in this incident. Did you know people survived better in the country than in the early cities? In the cities people relied on others for food, water and services, in the country they relied on themselves and their neigbhbors. As many places still do today. Example is recent Tornadoes and how the communties helped themselves and others. Reading where Apartment dwellings froze due to no heat, & Others starved due to no delivery of food. Having 12 people at this class and it was an eye opener for us all. Personnelly having experienced these types of needs and how small communities do not wait for help. Learned to be a Volunteer FireFighter at 17. Wishing our communities would teach the teenagers the many things that they could do to help in times of stress. First Aid for others actually helps them mature, to realize you do not need to be old to be someone special and needed. It is something I think our country has forgotten during this pandemic witch I fear will be with us a long time. Re adjusting how we live is what made this a great country. Hoping we can readjust again and smile at each other, nod a hello. Obey the traffic lights, it saves lives and might even be your own. Genealogy has taught many so much about life so enjoy it while you can.
