I want to know those who are not perfect, who spoke an unkind word, who hurt another’s feelings, or the ones who tried and failed. I want to know those whose hearts were broken who did not show righteous calm, I want to know those who forgot how to pray, but are turning to God, again. We are all but walkers on a path that takes its twists and turns, We are all imperfect travelers, and yet, we are noble souls, We try to light our little fire, we try to fan the flame, We are not here to be perfect, but to get up, and try again.
List of ALL the surnames that would be mine & my siblings ancestors in some way, that we would have a touch of their DNA– male and female lines. Literally the ONLY one not proven is the James Agnew paternal line which I will never give up on finding, but may never find.
will keep a count here:
