If you're interested in how ancestors might influence later generations, do take a "Look Inside" Finding a Future. It's a personal story of family history and reminiscence, recording some first steps to see what I could discover about the ways nurture, nature, and necessity influence who we become and the life we lead, using genealogy and recall. As a glimpse of one family's history, by analogy the story might resonate with life experiences in some other families. From the trails of genealogy and memory for all branches of the family, I've sketched details of ancestors in the 1800s and earlier in the poorest areas of northern Europe, journeys and new settlement of voyage takers in the family, efforts of grandparents, parents, and other family in new lands, and what it was like growing up in subtropical Australia in the 1950s through the early 1970s, to find a future. Beyond curiosity about who were my ancestors and the everyday conditions of living in earlier times, I wanted to see whether some hints of values, norms, and habits were evident across generations, within the largely unspoken past of one family's history. Hoping you find the book of interest--it was fun to write as a family record.… (más)
