Excerpt from The Genealogy of the Mell Family: In the Southern States "Tell your children of it and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation." Joel, I. 3. There is a saving that one who has no reverence for his ancestors probably never had a grandfather. It is certainly true that a proper degree of family pride will cause a man to live worthily himself and to teach his children by precept and example not to fall below the record of their ancestors. "Noblesse oblige" is a motto which instills regard not so much for the noble birth of the family as for noble deeds and good and worthy Christian lives. This kind of family pride is admirable and elevating in its influence. The Bible strongly commands this reverence for our forefathers and promises length of days to those who honor father and mother.
