We Are The Storytellers

We are the chosen.
In each family,
there is one who seems
called to find the ancestors.
To put flesh on their bones
and make them live again,
to tell the family story
and to feel that somehow
they know and approve.
Doing genealogy is not
a cold gathering of facts,
but instead, breathing life into all
who have gone before.
We are the storytellers of the tribe.
