Early American Ancestors

I spent some time in a chat session today that made me really want to look at my Early American Ancestors again.  The last time I really spent any time working on those families the internet wasn't really a viable option for searching yet!  Even with the research I had done earlier, combined with what my great-aunt had done in the early 20th century, I know I'm related to 10 U.S. Presidents.  I visited a Facebook group called "Old Stock Americans (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=29073689235&v=info#!/group.php?gid=29073689235) and couldn't really name off my ancestors because I only recall two or three.  I think I'll spend a little time updating and researching and seeing what I can find!  I've always wanted to be a part of the Mayflower descendents but never took the time to work on it.  Wish me luck!

If anyone would like help with their Early American Ancestor research, let me know and I'll see if I can help!

Beautiful Poem

I found this great poem while searching online this morning and wanted to share it with you:

"She calls to me from long ago; through sunlit skies; through drifts of snow. In clouds that dance upon the sea, I call to her, and she to me.


So real was she. She laughed; she cried. She loved; she lost. She lived; she died. She hoped and dreamed; so real was she. She lived a life that I may be.

The blood through which my veins does flow is the same as her's from long ago. So it will be that when I'm gone in an unborn child it will flow on.

I'll live my life and when it's done I'll live again in those to come. For I'm a bridge from she to me; from those that were, to those to be."
