Genetics and Vintage Photographs


Today I came across an article on Meridian Magazine about genetics. The article covers a topic concerning the debate over nature versus nurture. However, the author (an adopted individual) comments on how there is another missing piece. This piece is our spirit. While nature and nurture do have their own unique affect upon us, our spirit ultimately has a strong impact on what really makes us who we are. If you are as interested in genetics as I am you might find the article intriguing.

I also came across a few other interesting articles. One was on KSL about an Australian photographer who recreated well known and vintage photographs using his daughter. You can read the short article here as it briefly describes his technique and comments on how these photo sessions provide valuable family time. Or if you are just interested in the amazing photos, you can view them here. How fun would it be if we could recreate vintage photographs of our ancestors?

The last article was again with KSL. This article informed us that Ancestry.com is releasing more than 1 billion records in relation to their collaboration with FamilySearch.org. Wow, that is a lot of records. Maybe we will have more of our family records within those numbers. Happy Hunting!
