RE: Necessary Confidences

My goodness, I was going to miss this article!
But I've seen it.
It is so, so, so, so beautiful as the pictures here.
How glad I am to have seen it!
Thank you so much, @
This is the only way, with the soul, to build memories for our children and grandchildren.
I was checking the mail yesterday, when I saw a notification from Familysearch.com where they notified me that they had found two relatives of mine by the maternal branch mentioned in a Catholic registration document of the marriage of my great grandparents, and they have descendants living nearby, in Maracaibo; and as, of course, these descendants live, the page makes it easy for me to contact them.
The thing is that I not only found siblings and cousins of my great-grandparents, there are also memories that their close relatives left in the page and there are anecdotes that make me remember my grandfather and my brother's and my way of being.
Everything is interconnected, but it is the records and memories that allow us to see our origin and why we are what we are.
I congratulate you for thinking of these records that will someday make you feel what my ancestor's records make me feel every time the genealogy platform writes me to send me some document, memory or anecdote it finds of my ancestors.
A big hug, my dear Rosario.

Thank you so much, I'm very pleased with your comment. I like this community because we can reflect on things from this age, but also because of the opportunity to share our memories. It's great that you can find family through this means. It's important to create those connections because knowing about our ancestors also helps us understand ourselves better.

A big hug.

Thank you, dear @charjaim
