Yes, it looks like my moments in this life are numbered our ancestor answered. The old gentleman took from his pocket a small bottle and handed it to him saying, Just apply this and the bleeding will stop. He then turned and walked out of the room. Our ancestor called his wife saying, Follow that man quickly and see where he is going. She hurried to the door but could not see the man anywhere.

Our ancestor s life was spared but his leg had to be amputated. Who was this ancestor? 13.

44 Family history builds bridges between the generations of our families. Bridges between generations are not built by accident. If I want my children and grandchildren to know those who still live in my memory, then I must build the bridge between them. I alone am the link to the generations that stand on either side of me. It is my responsibility to knit their hearts together through love and respect. Family history builds bridges between the generations of our families.
