Whereas our ancestors (not of choice) were the first successful cultivators of the wilds of America, we their descendants feel ourselves entitled to participate in the blessings of her luxuriant soil.

So you are just starting out?
WELCOME!
Seems like everyone is venturing out on the web to find new ways to learn about how to climb our family trees. We've had groups in Second Life doing just that for several years now.
You are invited to sign up for a free Second Life account join in the fun.
Make a note of the calendar of events (one of the tabs on the top of this blog) and check out "About" that lists some of us by name and indicates the places we go to attend meetings or to relax. We have different screen names there!
You'll find me there as a slender blonde by the name of Clarise Beaumont!
