Living in the Past

"Living In The Past"

Happy and I'm smiling

walk a mile to drink your water

You know I'd love to love you

and above you there's no other

We'll go walking out

while others shout of war's disaster

Oh, we won't give in

let's go living in the past

Once I used to join in

every boy and girl was my friend

Now there's revolution, but they don't know

what they're fighting

Let us close our eyes

outside their lives go on much faster

Oh, we won't give in

we'll keep living in the past

Jethro Tull 

I've been living in the past for the last 12 years or so. I first got interested in researching family history when I (with the help of a friend) took advantage of the infancy in internet genealogy to start a tree for my husband, which started me on a journey of discovery that I've been utterly in love with ever since.
I started my tree in earnest just a year or so ago and am engrossed in finding out the social history around my ancestors lives, in a quest to bring them back to life.
