I have been researching both my husband's and my family trees for over 25 years. My genealogy research has been an amazing journey of continuing discoveries. To me, genealogy is not just gathering facts of names and dates, but an understanding of those that have gone before us. To know where they lived, understand the hardships and losses, and pass on the story of their lives.
