I started my interest in my Families Geneology when I was Ten and with the encouragement of my Mom interviewed all my parents siblings and Great Uncles and Aunts and my Granfather to get a perspective on their child hoods and family life..I treasure that information even more today. From interviews I began to put names to pictures and family histories began..my Dad's oldest sister sat long hours in the library and showed me how to proove by documentation..and not by just hear say..it has always been like detective work to me and I love to put together not only mine but find another researchers family and see their face light up when they discover who their family was and is. I probably have shared more information then ever received..but not everyone had the privilege to walk down the same streets as my grandparents did..One of my favorite things to do is to meet someone new in my family story and calculate how we are related..and I have met a lot of 3, 5 and 6 cousins once, twice removed..Smile!
