I always had an inquisitive mind. Always wanting to hear stories of my great-grandparent’s families. I was fortunate to have had them living while I was young. Now they are my cherished memories. I began searching my family tree long before the internet provided easier access and online forums. I love reading the old books of families that can still be found while also searching online for family records. What started as a hobby has now become an obsession. One of these days I will find the time to devote more of myself to my love of research and maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to complete one of my family trees. I have traced my family from 1482, England to present day, United States and just about every country in between. I’m far from finished, but what a journey it has been so far!
