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 40,000 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.
