It appears that Rachel Lucas has found her calling. I hope that she is successful in finding funding and getting help for this project. I sent her a donation to help out.
I've spent this weekend at my mother's house. One of my aunts came up for Thanksgiving and she'd been doing research into our family tree (on my mother's side) and she showed us a lot of pictures and documents that she'd found. We scanned some of them and burned her a CD so that she can prepare a book on the family. A lot of history is being lost and she's trying to capture it before everyone who knows it is gone. I think that this allowed Rachel's project to resonate with me more than it might have at some other time.
Regardless of the timing, though, it's something that's important and I wish her the best of luck.
