Parents are good at reminding their children of things to remember (Òalways do thisÓ, Ònever do thatÓ). Too often, however, parents themselves donÕt remember to pass on their stories and histories, leading their children to become amateur genealogists if they want to ÒrememberÓ their families.
In this memoir of her family, Sally Dietz Smith offers her extensive research and personal perception of the history that brought her family together and tells the story of how and where they lived. SmithÕs stories and pictures stitch together her ancestors like pieces in a quilt; through clever piecework, you meet the people who belong to her past, present, and future.
