Genealogy research is like breathing air to me; it isn't a desire but a need. I have always
been interested in my ancestral roots. It is as if I hear my ancestors
whispering my name asking me to share their story; it is my calling.
I first became interested in my dad's family, the Adams family. How cool is it that we are likely related to TWO Presidents of the United States? How could anyone NOT be interested in that? How about the fact that my ancestors crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower and the Fortune and participated in that first "Thanksgiving?" Super neat! To me, these roots helped me understand the history involved on a personal level.

I began my trek upon a genealogical journey when I was just a kid and continue down that path today. I have made many discoveries about so many people in my personal family history and look forward to learning more. I have also expanded my research into my husband's family and done private research for others. Sharing the story of those that have gone before me is an incredible feeling to me.
The purpose of this blog is to share information I have found with those interested. Join me on my journey, help me learn more and maybe learn a little about yourself...
