Great Divides

It is a shame that we don't value our items as people once did and I'm sure it is because we have so many tiems. we are a very materialistic country. And although it was the "in" thing to own slaves, it's at least heartening to know that they were valued at a much higher rate than the itmes owned.

I enjoy researching family history and the census and court records are so revealing of the way our ancesters lived not just the who, where and when. Gail

I have done a lot of Genealogy work on my family. I found your piece very interesting, and food for thought.
