Dear Primos and Friends:

September always fills me with the excitement of a new school year. Last year, I was part of the little parade that walked my oldest great-grandson to school for his first day of kindergarten, the same elementary school that two of my grandsons attended. This year, another great-grandson will be starting kindergarten at the same school. Time is certainly passing . . . quickly, quietly.

Dennis Brimhall, CEO of FamilySearch International, stated: “Today family history research and telling, sharing, and preserving family memories through stories, photos, and technology are engaging a growing number of individuals of all ages like never before,” Youth want to discover themselves and their family’s history in fun, exciting ways, and adults want to strengthen family connections and leave enduring
legacies." Do check out their new updated and free
https://familysearch.org/.

Studies show that knowing family history is healthy, "grounding" the individual in a very positive way. I hope you are all finding means to pass on your stories and experiences, and what you learned from them.
Just start . . write down one memory, which since you remember it, must in some way be important to you.

Thank you to all those who have sent in stories and articles. You are shaping Somos Primos by sharing.

God bless, Mimi
