complete my family tree

Started last summer after being facinated by how many family members, my parents never told us about, we met at weddings and funerals. The project stalled but I hope to get it started again.

I would like to see my family tree

I have been working on my family tree for ten years now. My goal was to get everyone back to the old country, were ever that was. When I first started I did not think that would be that much of a problem. I was Welsh, Scottish, German and Dutch. I cnanot find anything on my father’s grandfather’s family. He was born in Detroit, Mich. I have his date of birth, but I do not know who his parents were or where they came from.
As for my mother’s family it is a mess. Both her mother’s and father’s lines date back to the 1600s and they are still in the United States. One great-great grandmother lived her entire life in Terrytown N.Y., but I cannot find anything on her other than her grandfathers name in her obit.

My grandfather completed a family tree for he and my grandmother. It is very complete so 1/2 my tree is already done and beautifully documented. My father started working on his side and has a lot of source material. After my father died I started to work on it. I would like to at least document what we have in a format that can be passed down through the family

My mom and I are going to do this jointly. We’re starting with her father’s side.

Spent the holiday weekend reminiscing with the family, got quite a few leads on family members I didn’t know anything about…the research continues! It’s like a huge puzzle that just falls so perfectly in place at times, and then at others it feels like there is nothing more to be found…what a fascinating hobby! :)
