“Family history is a natural trespasser, barging through the hedges that mark the fields of academic study.”

Alison Light. “In Defense of Family History,” The Guardian (London), online edition, 10 October 2014.

A bolstering read for those of us who indulge. An illuminating read, perhaps, for those who put up with us. 😉

I am a keeper of my family's lore, chasing after my ancestors' tales in south central New York, southwestern Pennsylvania and Southside Virginia. The stories and photographs that I share on this blog are my intellectual property. While I do my very best to provide well researched posts, I do not pretend to have reached genealogical proof standards. Therefore, much of this work is to generate conversation among interested parties. If you would like to share my work or my records, please contact me: dkaysdays (at) gmail (dot) com.
