I began family research in libraries, with hard copies, pre-internet 30 years ago as a single mother needing a hobby, and have only recently come back around to explore possibilities using online databases. It's a joy and I am happy to be engaging the next two generations who have shown differing levels of interest.
Thanks to everyone who contributes and volunteers; you make the difference. Especially thanks to those who have personally helped me break through some brick walls, e.g., our biological estranged grandfather's family.
