Good Morning Dennis.
Thank you so much for the information that you have placed.
Yes it truly is important that we add all the memories we have of our relatives to the Family Tree, before as you say it is lost forever. This is the Lords work, so that our relatives in the future have this infomation at hand.
I knew nothing about my parents respective families and have learnt so much that I didn;t know, which has now been added to the world wide FamilySearch CommunialTree.
