I am the middle of nine children. My life had been dominated by my Mother's side of the family, a very large Irish family. I have discovered many of my relatives on my Father's side recently and am attempting to fill out my awareness of them. My research happens in spurts. After a longer spurt, I often conclude that if we researched back far enough with success, we would conclude that we are all related so what does it matter. I tell people that if they are interested in family research to create content for them and their families. Future generations will have access to social media and digital video and photo but they may not have stories. I would love to find a family story from a distant relative. I wonder what happened to all the letters that were written. Create content such as is done on the findagrave site. Add stories. I do research on my husband's families; Alger, Gray, Osheim, Twedt.
