My Family Tree - 4 generations


Introduction - Illustrating My Ancestors begins



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.
