Aunt Ruth's Book, intro, part 2

Now another generation has come. And most of an earlier generation has passed away. The grandchildren have raised their children and are now gaining grandchildren and, in a few cases, great grandchildren of their own. With this latest generation has come a change in communications and technology that allow us to publish electronically and communicate instantaneously. Many branches of the family have websites and blogs of their own. We’ll provide links to those. Some, due to the prying efforts of evil people, are password protected and limited to invited readers only. We understand that, and we will do our best to protect the living and honor the dead.
