In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors.
To put flesh on their bones and make them live again,
to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve.
Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts,
but instead beathing life into all who have gone before.
We are the storytellers of the tribe.
My name is Anne Vincent and I am the storyteller of my tribe. The people whose stories appear under “Strays” are not my blood relatives but they are part of my family’s story.
