My husband played the movie-video (DVD) of his childhood memories which was included in his grandmother Gunhilds video memories during year 1940 to 1950 in Canada. Where else? The video was a little bit blurry but we can recognize the people in those scenes. I recognized one scenery at the dockyard, where the fishing boat is nestled on the water and there was a big drum at the pier. I knew it right there because aunt Helen ( the sister of Lorne's mother Jean Belle ) had a painting of such place and told me a long story about it. Her painting just like her other paintings including the lighthouse has it's own distinct yet fascinating stories. There were two young toddlers walking, running at the dockyard which my husband cannot recognized anymore who they were. There were piles of huge logs at the shore as if millions of beavers put them all together to build their houses. Wonderful! I think that's totally amazing to have something like that to remember especially childhood memories, at the time when you are over the hill but not out yet. My husband is not that very old yet, anyway. One of those scenes where my husband who was a toddler that time and his golden blonde hair 's prominently proof of him as he innocently gazed at a beautiful polished car which could be a vintage car by now and worth a lot of money. Well that's FILM 1 and FILM 2 will have to watch it later. Who would have thought that a blonde child is incredibly very talented and almost a genius.
So that's YEAR 1940 and 1950 and it's blurry color and almost unrecognizable. What could be the memories of YEAR 1812? No video or movie in that time period. there's no equipment or tool for movie-making. There were painters... those ancient memories were then inscribed and printed in manuscripts and painted on walls. Others had them painted on ceiling.
This is what I admire about my sister-in-law who is very resourceful in putting together all the good stuff, all the good memories of the Turner family. She studied Genealogy and she travels from different parts of the world tracing the family tree, the closest family, clan and whatever she can discover that belongs to their Family heritage. Who knows she could have the earliest family heritage history since 1900 or further to 1812.
While I could only remember story of my Grandmother Honorata Oblena who was born in 1912, at the time when the Army General Hospital in Fort Bonifacio, Makati in Philippines was founded and established (Fort Bonifacio Rizal was once the Fort William Mackinley, USA). Now> It's called the Korean Global City where fireworks are fired every month to cast away the demons.
