After finding all of  the old photos, personal papers, and letters, regarding my ancestors, I couldn't wait to get home to discuss this discovery with my mom.   However, she didn't  know too much about her mother or father. My maternal GM, having died when my mom was 7 years old, resulted  in my mom and her siblings being sent to the "Methodist Home Orphanage" in Waco, McLennan Co TX.   What happened to her Dad? I set out to find a place, where I could  find out information about my ancestors.  Good luck kid!    However, upon my return to school,  I found an English teacher, whose hobby was genealogy!  Genealogy! What is that?  Where do I begin?

Finally, I was directed to the Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research, in Houston, Harris Co TX,  where I started my genealogical education.   A little tidbit:  If you are afraid of skeletons, stay out of closets.  Maybe, I should have stayed out of Aunt Mary's closet on that summer night, so long ago. Although, look how much fun I am having.  Have a great Easter and by all means get together with your family. Genealogy:  It's a family affair!

Until next time.........gendara
