A friend recently reminded me of a quote that made me think I had better get on the ball with this. "He who feels no pride in his ancestors is unworthy to be remembered by his descendants" -- Mj. David French Boyd. I thought this was a pretty powerful statement.
I decided to start a new hobby. I have started researching family history. I have alway been curious who my ancestors were, where they came from, how they lived and how they migrated to what I call home. Much of the research for my ancestors has been done by other family members, which gives me a nice head start. There are still many more people to discover. I am realizing how fun and interesting this can be as I learn different ways of finding people. The internet makes information so readily available and new information is constantly being added. This road to discovering people is very interesting.
I am still a novice at this but I am excited to learn new avenues of information, and I am excited to learn about these people of the past.
