Introduction

This is a blog of my journey to discover my and my husband's ancestors.  So far it has been an interesting and exciting journey. I’ve learned that genealogy is so much more than the collecting of names.  Each one of our ancestors has a story.  In trying to discover their story it has involved researching where they came from, who their neighbors were, the history of the area, and so much more.  I’m realizing that in order to have a reliable family tree for future generations, records have to be organized and cited.  I’ve become just a little addicted to genealogy. So I read books, read information online, read magazines, subscribe to blog, and have started genealogy courses. I know that there is so much more to know and I look forward to the journey.  I never imagined that I would have a blog, but why not.
