The Story Tellers
Written by Tom Dunn
The Story Tellers.... we are the chosen,
or why I am so fascinated ("obsessed")
with Genealogy.
My feelings are that 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.
To me doing genealogy is not a cold
gathering of facts but, instead,
breathing life into all who have gone
before. We are the story tellers of the
tribe. All tribes have one. We have
been called as it were by our genes.
Those who have gone before cry out to
us: Tell our story. So, we do.
In finding them, we somehow find
ourselves. How many graves have I
stood before now and cried? I have lost
count. How many times have I told the
ancestors you have a wonderful family
and you would be proud of us? How
many times have I walked up to a grave
and felt somehow there was love there
for me? I cannot say.
It goes beyond just documenting facts.
It goes to who am I and why do I do the
things I do. It goes to seeing a
cemetery about to be lost forever to
weeds and indifference and saying I
can't let this happen. The bones here
are bones of my bone and flesh of my
flesh. It goes to doing something about
it.
It goes to pride in what our ancestors
were able to accomplish, and how they
contributed to what we are today.
It goes to respecting their hardships
and losses, their never giving in or
giving up, their resoluteness to go on
and build a life for their family.
It goes to deep pride that they fought
to make and keep us a Nation. It goes
to a deep and immense understanding
that they were doing it for us. That we
might be born who we are. That we
might remember them. So we do. With
love and caring and scribing each fact of
their existence, because we are them
and they are us.
So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of
my family. It is up to that one called in
the next generation to answer the call
and take their place in the long line of
family storytellers.
That, is why I do my family genealogy,
and that is what calls those young and
old to step up and put flesh on the
bones.
