“Young and old alike find

that knowing one's roots,

and thus coming better to

know who one is, provides

a personally rewarding experience.

But even more is involved than

uncovering a family history, for each

discovered United States family history

becomes a newly revealed small piece of

American history. Stated simply: a

nation's history is only the selective

histories of all of its people.”

- Alex Haley
