" A life is never finished when it can be picked up and lived again in the written word." But too often, one dies leaving no journal or personal writings, no mark of personality or character, no hint of whom he truly was. Those seeking to rediscover that life after a hundred or more years search for clues in photographs, histories, census or church records, and cemeteries. Sometimes, they may be lucky enough to encounter someone who knew that loved one, or perhaps run across a mentioning of them in another's journal or history. Carefully, the researcher attempts to assemble the bits of information, much as one putting together a jigsaw puzzle without a picture to follow. The parts may not all be in the right place, but the image of a person emerges, bringing to the seeker an understanding of the significance of a life lived long ago.
