The Burns Family History Page

"Civilization had its beginning around an open fire. Here at its warmth
gathered the family group to find safety, comfort, and companionship. In
tracing the word "fireplace" one finds it definitely related to the Latin word
"Focus". There is the explanation of what home has always meant; for home
is the center of life, no mere residence of the body but the axis of the heart;
the place where affections develop themselves, children love and learn,
where two toil together to make life a blessing.
Ones ancestors are the flagstones that have led to the home you now have.
As each babe begins a new life from the warmth of a mother's lullaby to the
adventures of adulthood, the days slip away as each flagstone is set in
place; some carefully, some hastily--but all record the path, it seems to fade
and become obscured in the distance. It is hard to visualize the battles
fought, the seas spanned, the wilderness braved, deserts walked, fields
cleared, houses built, homes made and families loved and raised--each
event a stone in the path unseen on the other side of the rolling
hills.
These pages of past parents with their brothers and sisters is just an
attempt to help you picture those ancestors and appreciate the span of time
they labored on the path that leads to you. by....Don E. Haasch"
