…our great-great-great-grandparents and those before them? Because I think about them probably more than the normal person. What were they like when they were living the life that eventually lead to ours? Did they think about the generations they’d never meet? Did they wonder what life would be like in this day and age?
I was recently given some family history that traced back to my 10x great grandfather, Isaac, born in England in 1529 and all I could think as I read about 500 years of family was “I wish I had photos of them!”
One day I’ll be that great-grandmother, and I really hope the photos I’m taking today will make their way to the generations I’ll never meet so they can feel like they know us a little bit.
If you think about your family’s story this way too, The Art of Family is linked in my bio and was created just for you!
