Hello to everyone who is hard at work trying to find out just who you are.  I consider myself an experienced genealogist; however, on days like today, I feel like a novice.. Do you ever have those days?
As a young teenage girl, on a summer visit with my maternal Aunt Mary , I happened upon an old box full of photos, personal papers, letters, and etc in the closet of the bedroom where I slept. I inquired of her, as to who, "are those old people?" Aunt Mary informed me that,  "those old people" are your ancestors." Like my cat, Katie, my  curiosity was fired....  the fire still burns. It hasn't killed this cat yet!!!  Katie spends many a hour sitting on my desk,  watching  me,  as I research late into the night for my elusive ancestors.

Happy hunting until next time.............gendara
