Not long ago I began  spending (too much) time online at Ancestry.com working on my family  tree.  Although I've always been interested in genealogy, and knew that  there was some interesting family history in my tree,  I was  nevertheless astounded to find so much fascinating information about  those who came before me.  There are clearly so many interesting stories  to be told. 
From that  fascination, this blog was born.  Over the course of time I will  continue to explore some of these ancestors in more detail...and will  post my illustrations and tidbits about their lives.
