The Family Book



I've heard this rumor once about Steven's family,
that Steven's ancestor was someone famous in the history.
I took it with a grain of salt.

During this trip, I did some digging.



I'm not a historian.
I have no idea about any world history, including my own028.gif
I'm not good with numbers, either.

You know the kind of people who can tell you what event happened
in which year and what not? Impressive, right?
Yeah, that's not me.

Just a little disclaimer there006.gif

Anyway,
I heard that Steven's ancestor was sent to explore the New World.
There's been a movie about him.
I also discovered another ancestor's life was made into a movie.

So, casually, I asked Elmo more about the family tree.
He said, "I'll show you the book when we get home."

At that time, I thought he was referring to a book that's really
a notebook of some sort, put together by staples or something.

Oh my my, I was wrong.

This IS actually a book.
(I changed the name of the book for his family's privacy.)

It was interesting reading the book.
Who goes to all this trouble to figure out one's genealogy??
I guess someone in his family.

It seems many Americans are curious about their ancestries.
They trace back their family tree and reunite with the distant relatives.

Now I'm curious about my family.
But probably it's too difficult to trace back my ancestry.
I have no intention to make that effort011.gif
Maybe it's time for me to shift my focus from the past to the future006.gif
