We Are the Chosen: The Family Storytellers

I have frequently lamented the fact that I am not a teacher. I have tried many times, all unsuccessful. If someone learns anything from me, it is because they observed something they wanted to emulate; in other words, they did all the work. Why do I regret my inability to teach?

Since I've begun blogging, I've found many genealogy blogs that are dedicated to teaching others how to be a better researcher. Or how to use technology to make them better genealogist. Or...the list is almost endless. My blog is none of those things. And I've always been a bit regretful that was the case.

But I read something months ago that finally made me happy with my blog. Perhaps because it resonated with me as something my Mom had told me many times. I am the family storyteller and that is enough.

So on my blog's second anniversary, I would like to share those posts over the previous year that were the most popular in 2014. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did researching and writing them.
