I started researching my family in 2000 through Ancestry.com -- today, I have some parts of the family back 16 generations. Others, only to my grandparents. Traditions, stories and history help form the fabric of our family quilt -- mine is missing a few swatches. My hope is that through associations like this one and Ancestry.com, I can try to recreate some of those stories to pass on to my children. I'm also a volunteer researcher at the Family History Center in Rogers, Arkansas.
