In Malachi 4:5-6, it reads: " Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
This blog is for me. It's for my family. It's for my children. It's to remember my mothers and fathers, stretching back into aniquity. Here I will share stories and highlights of the lives of my ancestors, to remember and to teach my children about where they come from and where they are going. I believe I wll someday meet these people and will be glad that I knew who they were in this life, that my "heart was turned to my fathers."
I will highlight ancestors from both sides of my family tree, as well as my husband's. I will make sure I include at the top of the post which family line I am posting from. Most of what I share will come from already written and well documented sources- it won't be my original research but this will be a place for me to organize my favorite and most influential parts of my heritage, and to share it with my children. I will share these stories for the enjoyment and enrichment of all my family and hope we will gain greater knowledge and appreciation for those who came before us! And hopefully I can also help spread the "spirit of Elijah."
