How I wish I had asked more questions of my parents, it would answer a lot of questions today. But of course with out these puzzles Genealogy would not be half the fun. Yesterday my little grandson asked "Why don't you have any little children living in your house ? Don't you like them". I said of course I like them, your mother and your aunt used live with us , but they grew up and started their own families. I later found out he had asked his grandmother if he could live at our house. [I think we let him have to much freedom.] If he only knew how many children have been left in our care in the last 40 years.
As I review all these vital records, that I come across, I am stuck by how many lives have come before us. You wonder what were their trials and successes.
Today our file contains 270 individuals and over 90 marriages. The Larrabee and Barnes can be traced to the early 1600's in our country (12 generations).
The Freitas and Wrenn families only 4 or 5 at this point. This is just a beginning,
who knows what is to come. Lets hope the children continue to ask the questions.
