When Genealogy Research Turns Up More Than You Expected

Genealogy has a way of rewarding persistence. A search through Texas archives uncovered a forgotten family patent, an old medical office photo, and a few surprising stories. Plus, I reflect on thirty-two years of marriage, preserving family memories, and finally watching The Last Ship.

The post When Genealogy Research Turns Up More Than You Expected appeared first on Bob Mueller.

“... there are as holy persons outside orders as ever there are in, and not to trifle with truth, as good men out of the Christian church as most I've met within it. In the Holy Land I've known Saracens I’d trust before the common run of the crusaders, men honourable, generous and courteous, who would have scorned to haggle and jostle for place and trade as some of our allies did. Meet every man as you find him, for we’re all made the same under habit or robe or rags. Some better made than others, and some better cared for, but on the same pattern all.”
― Ellis Peters, A Morbid Taste for Bones
