My mom passed in 2011, my dad didn’t know who his biological grandfather was, so I started looking for information about my bloodline relatives. I now have a tree of more than 21,000 individuals (14,000 bloodline and their spouses). The tree has no one famous. I am trying to not let them be forgotten.

Some are born on to greatness, some are born on to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all…

We die once when the last breath leaves our bodies. We die a second time when the last person speaks our name. The first death is beyond our control, but the second one we can strive to prevent. (An old proverb)
