Generasjoner gjennom tid
Etter en alt for lang tid er endelig disse sidene på plass igjen. Velkommen
Jeg har i svært mange år brukt "Gramps" som base for dette arbeidet. Deretter har basen med ujevne mellomrom blitt distribuert her ved hjelp av TNG. Det har vært noe utfordrende. F.eks. har alle internettlinker som jeg har koblet inn på individer i Gramps kommet ut som et ikkefungerende bilde her på TNG. Dermed har jeg måttet kjørt egne rutiner å slette slette de igjen. Dette har jeg nå forsøkt løst ved å låse de som privat info i Gramps. Men langt over tusen linker er mye arbeid.
Har i det siste også brukt mye tid på å strukturere databasen en del. Både stedsarkivet og ikke minst kildene har fått en mer korrekt oppbygning. Det har vært og er en utfordring å få dataene slik de er lagt inn i "Gramps" til å fungere på samme måte her.
Håper at du finner noe av det du leter etter her :)
We are the chosen. 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. 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; 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 I am, and why I do the things I do.
I tillegg til disse sidene administreres også:
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. 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 the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. 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 they and they are the sum of who we are. 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 my 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 restore the memory or greet those who we had never known before.

Jeg prøver så langt det er mulig å dokumentere funn og få alt rett, men feil eller mangler forkommer. Om du ønsker å tilføre kunnskap eller har tilbakemelding, så må du gjerne ta kontakt.
