The sisters, by which I mean, mine and my mother's, asked for kind of a one-pager on the family history.
Key facts, quirky discoveries, who's who, exactly who the cheese maker lady was, which relative went to Bogota, the name of the place in Ohio where they all went.
They want me to empty my pockets in the school yard and show them all my best marbles.
Or, they want me to 'fence off' all the soft leaves of the forest floor and hurry them quick to the one or two precious orchids.
After nodding my head enthusiastically at this idea, because I do want to share, I realise that's not the way it should happen.
You all need to comb through the dull pages and discover gems for yourself. To read through the source materials and pick out passages that you personally like.
I don't mind making that process a bit easier by providing typescripts of cramped original text, providing a master chart showing how the mini-charts fit together, setting up a keyword index to aid navigation...
But the discovery, that's got to be a personal matter.
Let me know how you get on 😁
