"Ancient history" comes all too soon, believe me!

Makes me think this should include apathy amoung siblings who have moved far away from each other and just stay involved in their own little families. They forget the big picture or importance of it, such as having cousins really know each other or about their heritage. When I try to involve my family in this research I am doing I am getting no where. As my brother said to me recently, "you are talking about people we don't know". It isn't important to them. But if I finally get these books together and distributed to them I do feel one day they, their children and their grandchildren will finally appreciate it at some point, and wish they had taken the opportunity when it was available. It will all be ancient history by that time and the kids (as you were) will feel they were cheated. Family does not mean what it used to.

It seems that in today's world, that has become the 'norm' rather than the opposite. I actually discovered (when I was in my 50s!) that I had dozens of cousins right here in my own hometown! Who knew?
