Bringing family together through ancestry research

Who are you related to?  Do you know your distant cousins too?  Resolve to find them in 2013!  Be they distantly removed by time or place.  I correspond with my distant cousin in Switzerland.  Sharing information brings us all a little closer.

Family and the Holidays

Christmas and the holidays are such a wonderful time of year to reflect on your family ancestry. There are many sources to look up what your family would have done back in the home country or during the American Revolution.  Holiday traditions change a lot over time and space. What traditions do you have now that have been in the family for a long time?  What are the new ones?

09November

Proving a new patriot.

Today I was very excited to have a new American Revolutionary patriot proven.  What makes Obededom Sanders even more special is that he also is new to the DAR Patriot Rolls, meaning I was the first to prove his service.  This means so much to me and my DAR sisters because it means his sacrifice and service has not been forgotten and he'll be forever remembered as a patriot for the founding of this great country.

I found Obed when I was looking for information on a different person. It goes to show that having a plan in your research is critical but sometimes you just need to cruise off your path because you never know what you'll find.
