People have an innate curiosity about themselves and why they are the way they are. Whether you come from the school of thought that we are products of our environment or products of our genetic composition, in truth, we are products of both. And knowing and understanding the details of where we come from are the pursuits of many.
Genealogy (the study of tracing lines of ancestral descent) has grown immensely in the digital age. Where Ancestry.com is a very familiar leading venue for online research, there are a host of many others who have entered into the spotlight, each featuring their own unique spin on the road to finding our ancestors: Family Search, My Heritage, Find My Past, etc. However, there are many more obscure and local resources that can also offer a wealth of valuable clues. It is worth doing some homework before you dive in and invest your time and wallet in the myriad of databases and historical vaults available on the internet.
Over the decades, family history research has changed and evolved in so many extraordinary ways. This site is an attempt to share passion for this subject, lessons learned, and to assist others in their search for their origins and in answering the questions they might have in uncovering some of the mysteries of their identity. Research is never really done in isolation.
