"Ultimately, the great truths of family history don't live in any book. They live in the hearts and minds of the living descendants. They live in the way we conduct our lives, in the passing of traditions and values to those who will follow." --Laurence Overmire, A Revolutionary American Family: The McDonalds of Somerset County, New Jersey.
