This is a recording of Francis J. Doyle’s farewell to his family. It is so touching and will bring tears to your eyes.
Transcript:
Doc, “… in the early 1600s and I got a Direct Line in the Egger family from Casper Egger down to little Bridget. I brought the book out to let you know what I was doing and I hope that David will carry on and finish it. I’ll help as much as I can, but I hope that David gets it finished. We got the names. The green book that you see there is the working book. That’s the book where we put all the notes. Where everything that I find I put in there. There’s one thing in there I didn’t put in. You can open up. It’s a fly page and you can read it if you wish. But I didn’t put it there. Read it ,Jim. No, the fly page. There it is.”
Jim, “I looked up my family tree and two dogs were using it.”

Donna, “Who did that?”
Hilda, “All right, who did that?”
Doc, “David had to autograph it that way — unintelligible — he put it, so that is in there. So, I want to thank you all for listening to me and I want you to know that I think I have the most beautiful family in the world and I love every one of them so much and I’ll miss every one of them. Goodbye everybody.”
