Building The Trees That Make Us

Genealogy has been a life long passion. Why do you want to know more about your family? For me, it was hearing the stories about family I never knew. I wanted to know more. Where were they born? Why did they move? Who did they marry? Why didn’t they get married? Why did one die so young? What was life like for them? Some of these answers can’t be answered, but learning about my ancestors and the times and places they lived can give me clues.
Genealogy is the story of life, yours, mine and our ancestors. With each person I study, I learn a little bit about their life.
