Way back in my teens I began researching family history for the purpose of finding my father's parents. It has since ballooned into a mega-project. I presently have nearly 45,000 individuals in my FTM database. [Someone stop me!] I've learned many fascinating facts about my ancestors. It's been a helluva ride. Update: After an over half-century search, in early 2018, a DNA match on my ancestryDNA page finally revealed my paternal birth family plus some verrry interesting connections.
Our family histories are loving gifts to our children and grandchildren, and to future generations.
