I first became interested in genealogy around 1975 when my father handed me his thin file on the Whaley family. I began to search for our earliest ancestors and was able to go back as far as the early 1700s in Loudoun Co, VA and document both a father and a son sufficiently enough to have them added to the DAR Patriot Index! I don't visit cemeteries, court houses, or libraries like I did back in the days before the Internet, but I still am bitten by the bug.
