Every so often, a quote or post resonates in the deepest crevices of my mind. It whispers to the very depths of my genealogy loving soul. When I hear this little voice, I know I need to save the words to re-read time and time again. I affectionately call these my "Genealogy Life Lessons".
Below are my favorites. I hope you'll read and enjoy these as much as I do.
