I was always a little unsure that this whole family history tour would actually come to fruition but now having arrived in Prague last night I am full of excitement and anticipation for a number of reasons. I'm going to meet up with my family (living in the Emirates now I see them next to never). I'm going to meet Mirek; the genealogist that has done so much work for our family over the last couple of years. I'm also going to come to know family members; long dead and some still with us.
My wife Alison has done so much of this work for us, and I know she has had amazing experiences that have solidified her testimony of this great work, but every now and then I catch a glimpse of what genealogy is all about and I feel the feelings that drive people to know their ancestors.
I hope this trip will give me more of that and that the spirit of Elijah will burn within me and I to will have that drive.
