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

Continued Organization

Letters to the Ferris branch residing in Nova Scotia sent and now it's the waiting to hear if any of the letters yield another cousin to be added to the tree!

I see Tammi and Pete continue to add new content to our MacDonald line. How nice is it to see work being done to further our research and history after twenty years of feeling alone in the project. Having several people researching the same family surely lightens the load and allows time to spent in other areas not usually worked

So my organization of media continues. Reorganizing the files in which documents, data, pictures and other genealogical information has been my focus. Renaming file in a consistent manner is finally happening and the moving of files to properly tagged and in the RIGHT file is underway.

Bringing the data base contained in Family Tree Maker and GRAMPS together continues also. This is an important piece of work so that the new summer 2010 version of the Web Site will reflect the latest additions of research found.

Finally continuing with the release of this new version the biographies tab is being changed. The previous written biographies of Thomas Ferris 1 and Thomas Ferris 2 have been reformatted and are in the process of a rewrite. A draft for biographies for Robert James Ferris 1 and Donald Aeneus MacDonald are complete. I plan on more biography of Albert Thomas Ferris Sr for Summer release.

It's been a very productive last two days and I look to continue to get this version rolling and released by the first day of summer. I need to catch up on my PEI newsletters and also the New England Historical and Genealogy Society newsletters. Jeanne on vacation this week and with her mother in the hospital I think my project might slow down a bit. But these life's events are what make up genealogy and living in them and through them are a big part of life. While I truly believe understanding your past can help who you are today, it is very important to not miss what is going on in your present life. After all, it is the one you are living and each day is a gift.

For those of you reading this thanks for your time. Drop me an email, a telephone call or even a letter. Each of you are the lifeline to all the branches of the various families I am researching.
