Saying of the Day

A Little of My History

I have been involved in Family History for over thirty years, and, retired three years ago to work on it full time. I feel the need to make my research available, and for that purpose started this blog and am working on another one. We all have family history that can help somebody else.

In this blog I will also include information to help others in finding their own family history.

I am writing a family history mystery that will also help people to do their own research. It is somewhat of a how to book without sounding like an instruction manual. I not only want to share what I found but HOW I found it to help others in doing family history.
