Genealogical discoveries by a determined Amateur
At times delightful, often exciting, and on rare occasion, absolutely heartbreaking. I've found that even some of the smallest details in the lives of our ancestors are fascinating--each detail discovered adds to the mosaic of our understanding of who our ancestors were. There is so much more to family than a collection of names followed by b. m. d.'s. My being a (hopefully) semi-intelligent descendant, the least I can do for the "names" that came before me is to get to know them better (than just a footnote with a few unmemorable dates). Journey with me as I share my discoveries--after all, it only takes a few hops back in time to reveal that you and I are kin.
