I am a 40-something wife and mom who has been living the domesticated life for 27 years now.
I have always loved family history, even from an early age. I remember my mom having our pedigree chart hand-drawn on parchment paper. Occasionally she would get it out and tape it to the wall in the living room, and there she would tell me stories about the names written in her neat script.
Once I was grown and married, I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where my husband had grown up. The Church has a focus on family history that seemed to speak to my soul and my interest in genealogy grew ten fold.
Here I am now, decades later, and ready to turn my hobby searches into documented research that will be suitable to pass on to posterity.
