Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Six Word Memoir(s)

  Calling All Genea-Musings Fans:

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Hey boys and girls, it's time for more genealogy fun.

Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  Larry Smith invented six-word memoirs (see https://www.sixwordmemoirs.com/).  

2)  How do you want to be remembered?  What is most important to you?  What six-word memoirs would you write?  

3)  Write at least one, on any subject, and the sky is no limit.

4)  Tell us about your six word memoir(s) in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post of mine, or in a comment on Twitter or Facebook in response to this post.

Here's mine:

I want to be remembered by my family as a brother, father, grandfather, and family historian.  I want to be remembered by my work colleagues as smart, fair, reliable, and persistent.  I want to be remembered by my genealogy friends and colleagues as dedicated, prolific, fun, with a big tree and lots of sources.  

So my six-word memoirs might be:

• Family, student, engineer, technology, genealogist, friend.

• Follower of Jesus Christ - Lord, Savior.

• Son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin.

• Aerodynamics, management, nacelles, reversers: persistent, reliable.

• Researcher, sourcer, speaker, geneablogger, family historian.

• Loved Mom, Linda, Lori, Tami, grandchildren.

• It's impossible to do this comprehensively

I struck out thinking of more.  So I put my "Thankfuls" from yesterday's blog post  I Am So Thankful For... into Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5 and asked for ten six word memoirs.  Here are the best ones:

• Angel Linda brightens up every day.

• Ancestors worked hard, built strong foundations.

• Mother preserved history with patient kindness.

• Father's ancestry gift: baseball, football love.

• Five grandchildren bring innocent joy always.

• Genealogy bloggers challenge, educate, encourage me.

• AI transforms geneasketches into living stories.
