GENEALOGY: In Pursuit of Ancestry
“Of all the affections of man, those which connect him
with ancestry are among the most natural and generous. They enlarge the sphere of his interests,
multiply his motives to virtue, and give intensity to his sense of duty to
generations to come by the perception of obligation to those which are past… combining
honor to the past, gratitude for the present, and fidelity
to the future.” (Josiah Quincy
III, 1772-1864)
