We are the sum of our ancestors who came before us. Each individual, be they male or female, has contributed genetically or behaviorally to who we are. The link stretches back centuries and is there whether we realize it or not. Knowing the past is the foundation for building our future. We can take what was good, learn from our ancestors' mistakes, and move forward.

And remember—we, too, will become our descendants' past, so when doing your genealogical research, do not forget to include present-day information. Including that step will make it easier for the generations to come to find their own link to the people who came before them.

Salmon Creek Genealogy features several family databases that reflect research conducted on my own family lines. Additions and corrections are always welcome.
