But I’m not alone on this journey. Other members of my family
began this trip before me, and without their work, I would never have
traveled as far as I have. There was my Uncle Gene, who wisely gathered
together stories and genealogy lines. He is no longer with us, yet
I am continually thankful for the information he passed onto the family.
There is my mother’s cousin, Virgina, who continues to be the tireless
caretaker of the Bakken line. My husband’s Aunt Donna is the keeper of
the Holmes branch of our family tree. And while I never personally met
our distant Canadian cousin, the late Elaine Kirkham, I treasure her
book Our Clint Family,
published in 1996.

Should you embark on your own safari….happy
