About Banner Art

All of us as "Students of Descent" in our efforts with "Tracing of a Family" name can fulfill on the perceived limitedness of our own origins. Moreover, it’s our understanding of the past that helps us deal with the rootlessness that we often feel in our own lives. This sense of rootlessness, and touching the roots of our past, enables us to feel more at peace; hence, the name of this Blog. It is my hope that utilizing Google Earth as a tool to enhance our own respective Family History books, which may in turn provide an even deeper sense to our roots.

The banner art at the top of every page is a modified version of a piece of art called "Past Present Future"- by Tito Salomoni; the original can be seen here.

The woman on the left represents the Past or our ancestors. The center portion represents our ancestors. The earth represents Google Earth and the future is represented by the astronaut.

The picture of the covered wagon, with the family members, is an actual picture in my possession. In this picture is my Grandmother on my mothers side, Dora France; being held by my Great-Grandfather. The covered wagon represents the "theatre of life". In this case, my blogs subtitle; "Tracing Of A Family". This 'tracing', as it were, is about migration, or rather 'seeing' their whereabouts, and how they might have reached a certain destination.

Google Earth, on the other hand is really the second focus of this Blog. Google Earth will enable you to see the migration patterns of a particular surname or family, and what it looks like now where they once lived or live; from a birds eye view. Coupled with you're own research, hopefully, this will give a unique perspective on Genealogy.

This Blog is not about my ancestors, but using them as an example in assisting others to utilize the features of "Google Earth". Perhaps, adding a new dimension to you're Ancestors Book that you may be working on, and in turn to share with your decendants.

For an introduction to "Google Earth" and how it can be used for Genealogical purposes, please see this post.
