My Genealogy Journey

I was thinking about my Genealogy Journey today. I remember when I first started back in 1999 that I wasn’t very interested in finding out my family history. My aunt was sending us Calendars every year with pictures of our family and our ancestors on every month. Then she sent me a disc with the family history information on it from my dad’s side of the family. It peaked my curiosity. I started looking into my mother’s side of the family and found a lot of info fairly quickly. I found a cousin online and then all of the sudden, I had the family history going back a long way. Thinking back, I’ve come a long way from not knowing what I was doing and probably screwing up at every turn to being critical about what I add to my family tree and posting the various ancestry websites. Just thinking nostalgically right now I guess.
