About Sherwood-Cameron Tree
Please sign in to see more. This tree owes a lot to the research of Stan Gray, Katherine Gray Soucoup & the late Betty Sherwood Tayti (Grays/Sherwoods), Philip Pratt (Dagles), David Cameron, Betsy Winslow (Cameron) and Tzigany Cameron (Cameron, Dagles, Veinotte).
I think this kind of work is important, but it gives me weird feelings doing it. Ancestral work is good stuff. It helps us figure out where we came from & some of who we might be in literal genetic terms. It also energetically sorts out ancestral wounds & gives them time & space to heal. I even kind of like the mysteries implied but often not revealed or resolved.
Some of the weird feelings come I think from getting so directly in touch with the weight of patriarchy, the briefness of life, the observable fact that 99.99% of personal history disappears at each death for most of us.
I'd like to get around to including sound snippets of people's voices and video clips & clippings & family comments. Knowing that I am one of the last persons on the planet who can clearly "hear" my Great Grandmother's voice, in memory, moves me. It is so easy with current technology to pass on so much more of picture, voice, events. But will anyone care? Maybe the faded & folded half-told stories are the
strongest. Perhaps a poet would know.
