The Family
We as humans constantly define and re-define who we are as we grow through out our lifetime. We first define ourselves within our family. “The oldest”, “The baby”, “The hard-headed”, “The free-spirit”, “The hard-worker”, “The black-sheep”, etc...
As we grow, we become anxious to break away from the family and stake a claim on this world as an individual. Find who we are. Prove who we are. Our desires lead us to the endless activities we throw ourselves into to support who we want to become.
And when the smoke clears… we start our own families. We become re-acquainted with the precious bond of the family all over again. We remember how important the family is. We ultimately begin to look towards the legacy we came from or the legacy we wish to leave.
To me, learning our family history allows us to honor our dead, acknowledge the fact of their existence and form a spiritual bond with those before us. For not them and the grace of God we would not be here.

About Me
- Debbie West
- I started researching my family tree last year. My father is a West and my mother is a McClellan. Researching my family history has truly been a monumental task. I’ve spent untold hours searching for long lost relatives… Where’s a ghost whisperer when you need one? With the surname McClellan being so popular due to General George B. McClellan and the surname West being a geographical direction, the hunt was hindered on many occasions. Search engines have run me through the ringer. The fact is, I threw my hands in the air and swore to walk away from this project more times than I can remember. It really is a roller coaster ride. This project has caused me tears of anger, tears of joy and has heightened my already existing anxiety disorder to its limits. It has forced me to be patient when I didn’t want to be and caused me to be organized and detail oriented, which that in itself is a huge achievement. But most of all, it gave me hope and a sense of belonging.
