My D...We have never done genealogy for our family. My Dad's sister did trace back part of their family. It would be nice to have something like that.<BR/><BR/>The photos are special too. I know once not to long ago I had some actual photos from a family reunion. I never bothered to process the film. Well many years later I processed and printed it. There in several of the photos were pictures of a cousin who had since died. So I gave copies of the photos to the family hoping it would be appreciated and not hurt anyone. I do not have a lot of family photos but what I have I suppose I should get onto CDs or DVDs to share with others. Who knows, I might even be able to use my unused domain name. See you are not the only one.<BR/><BR/>The stories are wonderful. There are always the story tellers in a family. The problem is if others do not take interest and share those and other stories then the stories die. Putting the stories down into electronic form one way or another makes so much sense. The whole time I was reading you post I could not help but think how wonderful a nice electronic scrap book might be to bring together stories and photos, maybe an occasion recipe or other such things. Of course when you think about it, isn't that pretty much what our blogs are or could be. Just think, years from now you can come back and watch the making of Fastnachts or more importantly your kids and your kids, kids can do the same thing. It was wonderful seeing and hearing you in you series of short films. It will be even better for people in the future.<BR/><BR/>The recipes are a wonderful thing to gather and share. I have been doing a little of that with our family recipes but not near as much as I should. A while back my SIS in Law put together a cookbook. She put out a request for people to share. Everyone thought it was great and said they would share. Many months later and practically no one shared things. Even I had not done anything. She was getting frustrated. So I put together 3 or 4 dozen recipes, with most being really simple recipes. My Mom added to it, my Sister, my SIS in Law and a few others contributed a little but basically it was very one sided. Most of my recipes made the cookbook including the milk can stew which I figured would never be printer. Afterward another side of the family decided they wanted to put out a second addition... that was probably 5 years ago. It is not that hard to do but people are either reluctant or just do not want to put the effort in. Funny thing, I use the cookbook all the time to look especially to look up my own recipes.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for getting so long winded but I really think this is such a wonderful idea. I wish you and every luck in gathering and sharing all this wonderful information. Not everyone will appreciate it but I bet many will love it. It will be the others loss.barmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678534461620555428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-42099481462247369452009-02-27T22:37:00.000-05:002009-02-27T22:37:00.000-05:00I love the way you described those recipes.
