Greta - I so agree - the "facts" are the framework for the stories!! Besides, sometimes those stories also give us a glimpse into the person telling them as well as the person the story is supposed to be about.Diana Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954839264299339937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104855834536658945.post-82443239644854428942010-11-25T20:24:00.385-06:002010-11-25T20:24:00.385-06:00Yeah, I read that blog, too.

There's nothing all that interesting about a name and a set of dates, but filled in with stories, we can get to know these elusive ancestors just a little bit better.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711776825293238093noreply@blogger.com
