My story
I’ve always had a fascination with history. When I was a child one of the things I wanted to be when I grew up was an archeologist. Now thinking about that, it’s really the stories from the past that intrigued me.
In recent years, I’ve been exploring my family history and have connected with newly found cousins (thanks to DNA matching). I now know so much more about some of my ancestors and am enjoying writing their stories.
My stories
As I discover interesting anecdotes from the various branches of my family tree, I will share them here.
