Many times that passion is not shared with others in our family. It's nice to be able to talk with others without getting the glazed look that comes over someone's eyes that shows they're not interested.<br /><br />Thank you so much for writing tome!

I started reading your website and have enjoyed the journey of meeting your many ancestors and their very real and sometimes tragic life stories. I found the information so alive with historical and informative history, written in a way that I felt I was making the emotional journey with each ancestor and shed a few tears as I did so. I have been reading your blog stories for about six hours and the time went so quickly. It is now 6:47 AM PST in California, when I usually get up and out the door 1-1/2 hours ago! I now know what it was like to live in the conditions and challenges your ancestors experienced. The fortitude and courage of their pioneer life--blazing the path for those that followed your ancestors. It has encouraged me to try to begin writing my father's and his ancestors stories which had some similarities--but different.<br /><br />I am first generation Chinese and Irish/Scottish descent. My parents married when it was against the California State law (as well as some other states) in 1944. They met in Visalia, Tulare County, California, ages 18 and 16, and I finally found their marriage license when they were 19 and 17 in Plano, Texas (love the old online newspapers). My Irish Grandmother told me she helped them find a location that it was legal to marry. It is nice to have finally found a method to tell my ancestors' and family's stories! I'm so excited and inspired by your method of storytelling your family history!!! It is engaging and I couldn't stop reading!
