| In the days leading up to the Moore Family Reunion in the summer of 1993, Curtis Moore spoke to the importance of preserving our family heritage: “Every family needs a chronicler,” he wrote, “someone who tries to accumulate the stories, events, births, achievements, and the deaths, of course.” |

He recalled the Beauchamp Family Reunion he had attended the year before where he heard Uncle Frank Beauchamp several times say, “Remember that date -- remember that story; when I am gone you will be the only one left who knows.”
The fact is that we've all preserved a part of our family history in our own way, within our own families, and in our own memory. We've saved old family photos, passed down family heirlooms, and told and retold old family stories and tales. The Moore Family Heritage Project is a family-wide effort to compile and chronicle our family's history and to preserve our rich heritage. More than just a record of names and dates, this project will serve as a testament to the kind of people we were, where we've been, what we were like, and what we've been through.
By contributing what we individually know about our family’s history we can benefit as a whole. And maybe even more importantly, we can pass that rich history on to our children and their children.
