That was good effort and knowing his story is important to everyone in the family. These people were tough as nails.

My aunt did genealogy on my moms family. We know so much. Great deeds and adventures. She started back in the 70s i think. Lots of road trips. Until ancestry.com came out i didnt know people might have zero knowledge of their family. What those generations did and went thru is fascinating. So great to know the stories.
