Genealogy

Last weekend, thanks to inspiration from NBC's Who Do You Think You Are, I joined Ancestry.com and have spent many hours this week doing preliminary (unverified) research on my family trees.

It has been very exciting. Not only have I confirmed that I have many relatives who immigrated to America in the last 150 years, but I was surprised to find Civil War veterans and even an American Revolution Veteran! It really has changed my view of who I am, where I come from, and the struggles that my ancestors have dealt with.

I can't wait to spend more time verifying the information and documenting their stories. If you're interested in more information, or working together, let me know.

Awww...you share my passion...I can spend so much time on there, I have to cut myself off or else it totally consumes me! Great, thanks now you've motivated me again!
