I say "mention" because I know them all, but some better than others. Some stories will have more content than others, but they will all be in it. There is always the hope that I will find more information, but for now I feel I should get this book started. As always, I find that as I review my material I find new information -- or new clues. My motto is "Reviewing Is Always A Good Thing".
I feel good about the project as it is my way of sharing. When I began to do genealogical research in 1990 my knowledge about my paternal lineage was very limited. I knew my grandparents, of course, and my grandmother's parents. I knew nothing any further back than that. Sometimes the challenge of finding these folks was daunting. It seemed almost impossible at times. But as I went step by step, things began to unfold --- and they are still unfolding. I have found five American Revolutionary Patriots on my father's side. I have found twenty American RevolutionaryPatriots on my mother's side. In short, I feel so fortunate to have had the honor of finding my ancestors --- and especially my foremothers. I also feel fortunate to be able to share them with others and with my descendants in particular.
I will tell you more about this project as it progresses. As of today I have five more foremothers to write about on my mom's side and then I begin on my dad's side.
