My Aunt Mildred had two children daughters Neva and Norma. Mildred was the 5th child born to Tuck and Bertha Wilson I owe much to the way she wrote and what she wrote about. All of my books owe her much! Mildred was a farmers wife but also a school teacher and farmer.
This aunt of mine left many words in spiral note books. Some of these were gifts to her sister, my mother Marguerite ( Wilson ) McKinstry. Mildred's writings told of family along with stories and gave a little time line as to what was going on in our world. Mildred must have had spiral note books all over the house and even in their car. I have tried to use part of her way of writing. Including some time line material or a brief description of things and places in my stories of family. I will place a few of these in photo format JPEGs. These pages come from several of my books. There was more than one author to these books of mine. I will try to give you a sprinkling of pages written by myself and others. I will start with a poem that I feel expresses what is important about our living and genealogy. It is not the date we were born, died or married that is so important, It is the novel that we all live! In other words the DASH between the date of birth and the date we die! The poem is "THE DASH" by Linda Ellis. _________JWMcK March 28, 2007
