I got started on this obsession with ancestry when I was trying to
trace my Native American roots. After several years, and some
luck-of-the-draws, I was able to trace a portion of my ancestry back
to the Choctaw Trail of Tears. I found this whole process so
completely fascinating, that I started in on another line and reaped
some satisfying rewards. There really is no stopping
place. Once you open a door, it leads to another, and another,
and another. Then it becomes so mind boggling that all you
can do is shut the computer down, put away all the scraps of paper,
and just let all that information settle for a
while.
Every so often I'll get an email from someone that has seen a name on
one of the databases. It's either a match and we find out we're
12th cousins twice removed on Great-Great-Aunt-Sister's son's side (grin)
or we find out that the line really isn't the same. The list of
surnames on the left will grow as things are found out and
tracked. And then of course, it won't be on the left anymore
because it will have gotten too large! Anyway, hope you enjoy as
much as I do.
If you are someone
searching and stumble across this site and these names, please email
me to verify any line matches! |
