In the past 50 years, she&#8217;s has put together some 14 rather thick volumes of archival material on both her, and her husband&#8217;s, sides of the family.  Why?  She said there are family members who have been &#8220;special&#8221; in her life, and she wanted to know more about them.  In turn, she surmised people in her family had &#8220;special&#8221; people as well.  So as a gift to them, she set out to discover these peoples&#8217; heritages as well.  We would do well as a society to slow a bit and collectively explore our roots and value those &#8220;special&#8221; people,  Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteforjoe.com\/social-security-c2wv\">Social Security platform<\/a>, as just one angle on this, focuses on valuing some of these &#8220;special&#8221; people in a variety of quite tangible ways.  Note:  The photo is a section of a quilt that was done by a Methodist Church &#8220;Ladies Society,&#8221; circa 1941.  This woman includes several photos of the quilt in her ancestry material, because several of the names are family members.  There are 325 names on the quilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just interviewed a local woman for a newspaper article that focused on her passion for genealogy.
