Happy New Year and welcome to 2011.
Today marks the official launch of The First Families Project although we have been hard at work in the background getting things ready to go.
We now have ten community projects underway and three First Family books are in the final stages of editing.
First Families of Edgefield County, SC
First Families of Baldwin County, GA
First Families of Alexander County, NC
It's a start. We're very proud of the job folks have done so far, but there are millions of stories yet to be told and we invite you to join us.
Many people spend their entire life researching their family history, only to have the stories lost because they fail to publish their findings. The First Families Project is about helping and supporting the publishing of your research.
Get rich quick - certainly not.
Get rich slow - probably not.
But we'll enjoy the journey together and have the satisfaction of seeing our work help others along their quest.
Human beings look separate because you see them walking about separately. But then we are so made that we can see only the present moment. If we could see the past, then of course it would look different. For there was a time when every man was part of his mother, and (earlier still) part of his father as well, and when they were part of his grandparents. If you could see humanity spread out in time, as God sees it, it would look like one single growing thing--rather like a very complicated tree. Every individual would appear connected with every other.
- C. S. Lewis
