Tracing the past...
4 years ago
I am a genealogist, a person who follows family lines and digs up those roots. It is amazing to find cousins who you look like. It is satisfying to be able to say my ancestors came from here or there and this is why they came to America, or why they had this occupation. To me, it is almost incomprehinsable to know that anyone of those hundreds of ancestors, just one, would have married someone else, or died in childhood, or had some other life altering event that did or did not happen that I would not be here. That I would not be who I am today.
I need to get back to that, it has been two months since I’ve seen a census record or ordered a birth certificate.
