About My Blog

I decided to write a blog to record details of my family history and my efforts to trace my ancestors.  I know not everyone is interested in family history and that includes members of my own family.  For some people life is about now and where you are going.  I agree with that but for me knowing how I got here and what came before is fascinating.

I don’t expect to find that I am related to money, to royalty or that my family made (and lost) a fortune.  I have however found some interesting facts and stories about some of the people in my family tree.  I want to use my blog to tell 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century stories in a 21st century way.

If you find my blog interesting or even if you don’t I welcome your comments and stories about your own family history research.  If by some remote chance that you think we might be related you need to know that I am not rich, I am not famous and there are no family heirlooms with your name on.

Enjoy.
