A family is a blessing - Anon

A family is a blessing
it means so many things,
words could never really tell
the joy a family brings...

A family is a mutual love,
the love of a dad and mother
showing children how to love
and care for one another....

A family is a heartfelt pride,
the feeling deep and strong,
that makes us glad to play a part,
and know that we belong...

A family is always a home,
a place where we can share
our joys and sorrows, hopes and dreams,
for happiness lives there...

A family is a bond of faith,
that even time can't sever,
a gift to last throughout our lives -
a family is forever!

Edmund Burke Quotation

"Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do not deserve to be remembered by their posterity." -- Edmund Burke

Why We Like It: Considering the work we do, and the concern we have for discovering and providing temple ordinances for our deceased loved ones, one cannot help but wonder if Edmund Burke had (or felt) the whisperings of the Spirit when making such a statement.

Why We Like Them:
Amazing Histories!

Mixed in the family history of the "Lefingebi" book is a wonderful history of England. We call special attention to the maps of 5th & 9th Centuries England, found on pgs 31-32. Pages 70-71 discuss emigration to US and pgs 1270-1272 explains the Census Tracks.

In "The Founding of a Nation" the forward explains the difference between "Pilgrims" and "Puritans". It also contains excellent maps not only of "Landing Rock" aka Plymouth Rock, which was their third discovery (pg 205) but of their first and second discoveries as well (pg 153 and 183 respectively). Also contains a picture of the Mayflower entering Plymouth Harbor (pg 235).
