We are not alone, and cannot function as such. We follow in the footsteps of those who have come before and shape the paths of those who follow us into the future. Thus to learn about our ancestors is to learn about ourselves. Through understanding of the past and those who have come before, events become meaningfull and not just a group of dates. We learn that every event effects not only our ancestors, but both the current and future generations. In short it connects the past with the future and helps us understand our place in the present world and how we came to be there. This is my attempt to honor those that have come before. This is my ancestry...
