The Narrow Line

We walk a lonely road
Or so I have been told
That life's a lonely journey for us all
But here I'd like to say, somewhere along the way
We choose how we stand and how we fall

For to walk upon this earth, there's a price I have to pay
For all you do and say, and all you hope and pray
And all that you oppose and obey

And all that you believe, and all you laugh and grieve
and what you have become today

And to think the way I do, there's a price I have to pay

Walk the narrow line, walk the narrow line
Walk the narrow line back home
I'll walk until I find, my truth and piece of mind
I will walk the narrow line

Peace will come, your peace will come
When all is said and done
It's only a memory away

And when you find peace, and all your angers cease
Then you'll make some sense of it all
Then the promises of truth, that shone so bright in youth
Give way to greater knowledge as they fall

To be truthful to myself, there's a price I have to pay

MacDonald - Nickerson Week

AFter speaking on the phone with my cousin Lorraine I filled in a lot of the blanks in the family tree of my mother's sister's present day family starting with my aunt and her husband and descending to her great grandchildren. I still have some dates to fill in including quite a few marriage and a couple of birth dates. Also places remain a mystery. Hopefully today I will resolve these final questions with a trip up north to visit Lorraine and Barbara. I will bring my data with me and Jeanne and I will drive north to New Hampshire to visit and make the Nickerson/MacDonald tree grow fuller in my research. Later tonight after 6pm it's out to eat with our boys Jack and Joseph (and the lovely Grace) who are taking us out to dinner. I entered all the found data into FTM yesterday and will input it into GRAMPS this evening. I will conclude my week of Nickerson/MacDonald work this week and next week go back to work on the Ferris side. A visit to my Aunt Mary ( my father's sister and the last remaining Ferris child of Thomas Ferris will be nice. I plan on filling in a lot of the descendants of my father's brother Walter who move to Delaware and settled. There are a lot of Ferris's down there to add to my tree! It feels so good to be "hunting" and working on my tree again. Working on genealogy is a very "grounding" feeling. I hope to finish off the week with updating posts on the web to inquire on research for the following week's work.
