Somehow it seems fitting that this web site should be launched today.
On 01 September, 2007, my beloved father, Ronald Eugene Mueller, would have celebrated his 69th birthday. It has been 9-1/2 years since he was called home to be with the Lord. I still miss him.
And yet, his untimely, premature death has a lot to do with my genealogical pursuits today. You see, the reality of the brevity of life was driven home to me by his sudden departure. Although I had an interest in family history prior to that time, it took his death to inspire me to earnestly seek our roots and find living cousins.
The pain of loved ones lost is tempered by the joys of making new family acquaintances.
To the dear family members with whom I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting in these past few years, you are wonderful. I am so delighted to be related to you. Thank you for opening up your homes and lives to make room for me and my immediate family. Thank you for your cherished stories, your photographs, your time. Thank you for your love.
Dad, thank you for your legacy. I look forward to that day we’ll be together again. I love you.
