Genealogy

Diana,

It is all very interesting. My sister took a class in college on geneology. It got my Mother started. She has been doing it now for well over 18 years. She has records going back to the early 1800's. We have muster rolls from the bor war (sp). They are even doing DNA testing for geneology.

I have always wanted do do a search on mine and my kids background but I am not very good on the computer and haven't been able to do much. I am so glad you have been so succesful.

One of my cousin's has traced out family tree back to the 1600's in France - I was amazed at all of the work that she had put into it.

What an interesting thing to do! I love that get to meet and share family things with people who you never knew were part of your family!

I would LOVE to traceback my roots. I just have no clue where to start. I am sure your husband will love all the old pics!!

That's funny because I met a distant cousin that had our family traced back to France as well and it goes way far back too. I'd have to pull out my paper work to tell you how far. It just amazes me that people can find records and stuff that goes that far back!!!

There is a ton of stuff in the LDS library. My Mom was a librarian for one of there local offices (she wasn't LDS).

I guess I should ad that she got the whole family upset with one of her discoveries. My Great Grandmother was buried in a paupers grave is Scotland instead of the family plot. Most of the family had moved to USA by then.
