Úvod I remember writing my dad's obituary. I sat on the floor, cross-legged, with a blank page from a steno book. Birth and death dates - check. Mother, father, family - check. Employment - check. Church membership - check. Service time and place - check. And that was all. The "regular package" obituary rules in 1984 wouldn't allow us to mention his granddaughter's name, even though she was the light of his life. I remember sobbing because that final summary of his life was so lacking in detail, in celebrating his life. It was at that moment that I made a silent promise to celebrate the lives of those who came before me, and to help others discover their family histories.
