Just by knowing that my great-grandfather’s sister was married and was never able to have children just like me gave me a comfort knowing that someone in my family went through the exact same thing I am going through now.

Doing indexing and researching really gives you a different perspective of life. How you're not the only one with trials. How things can be tough but life goes on anyway.
Amélie Bleakley
Indexing is an important tool but isn't a cure-all. Family history work can only help as much as you use it.
Hunter Wood
It's through those connections that you’re able to overcome the difficult things and the difficult trials that you’re going through.
Kaitlyn Ward
I learned that my kids are more interested in family history than I realized! I can make it fun for them and help provide them with a love of family history. We can build stronger family ties together by focusing on our past.

We all feel stronger if we are part of a tapestry. One thread alone is weak, but, woven into something larger, surrounded by other threads, is more difficult to unravel.
Stephan Walters
A key element… “for both the teller and the listener, is the sharing of positive moments, alongside the ability to bounce back from difficult ones.
Martha Driessnack
The single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative.
Bruce Feiler
People are more willing to talk about hard things than we might think. They just need an invitation.
Sydney Walker
t's amazing to see just what good can come when we're willing to open up and share the hard things that we've gone through.
Sydney Walker
Every family has happy and hard stories. We need to tell both.
