A word of caution before you begin ... our family has a tendency to talk that has, at least in my case, carried over into our writing. Some of these posts may be a little lengthy. But I assure you that every word is there for a good reason and I hope it will be worth the effort. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, put up your feet, and settle in to enjoy the read.
If this is your first visit to our blog, take a minute to read the first two posts: this one tells what is going on and the one below is a very key bit of family history.
Who Are We and What Is This?
Let me begin by saying, if you don't know who we are, visit our About Us page to learn more. Basically, we are two sisters who have joined forces to do our family genealogical research. What this blog is - right now - is a very, very small sampling of what we have discovered. What it will be - in the end - is a repository for our research results that can be shared with everyone who is interested in them.
Why a Blog?
For 15 years, my sister and I have been researching our family tree. On our journey, we've collected stories, pictures, videos, documents, memorabilia, and even DNA. We've gone up and down the family branches - some resulting in amazing discoveries and others causing us to pound our heads on our desks. It's been a fascinating ride. But all along the way, we got one question over and over, "When are you going to be done with the genealogy?"
The simple answer is never. By its nature, genealogy can never be completed; there's always something more to uncover. But what we think people were really asking is, when are you going to share all this with us in a format we can understand and use?
