A fifty year old Christmas Card greeting being sent from my family one more time just as it was in 1958. Merry Christmas all…
I’ll be doing the family bit for the next couple of days. Y’all enjoy the holiday and I’ll catch ya on the other side…
How do you define ‘home?’
Cal Lehmer’s house Where do you call home?
Is it your present residence? Or is it someplace you’ve lived in the past?
If you’re a “home is where the heart is” type of person, you probably have several places that you could rightfully call home. Any place that brings to mind the warmth and love of kind people and pleasant memories probably qualifies. But there’s a practical side to whittling that list of homes down.
Over the many years I have been researching, there have been several times where I’ve been advised against researching in valuable collections. A librarian, historian, or archivist might tell you that a certain set of files, index cards, or an electronic database or image doesn’t have anything to do with genealogy. Some have even said it would be a waste of time to check the record or index. A recent experience demonstrates how much we might miss if we heed that kind of advice.
