A: Shut up, and keep digging. That’s how I feel researching my family history sometimes. I keep digging and digging, and the hole gets bigger and bigger, but I never seem to arrive.

Researching a Family Tree in Stony Ground. About Digging Up Stones. Whatever Happened To …? September 24, 2009.

Right before we moved to Canada five years ago, a friend who had lived here told me about Fisherman’s Friend.
