Today I begin another adventure in the world of blogging. Instead of food, it is genealogy this time. I have traced my and my husband’s ancestry back quite a bit, but still a lot to do. On my Dad’s side are the English and Quakers with a little German thrown in for good measure. On my Mom’s side there is Acadian, French, Scottish, Irish, English, and a few more small additions. On my husband’s side we have Russian, French, Spanish, English, and Austrian.
There are veterans of the Civil War (both sides), World War I and II, Korean. Navy, Air Force, and Army. Teachers, Carpenters, Seamstresses, Ministers, and Politicians.
So, like everyone else we are a ’sauce piquante’ of ancestry with a little bit from everywhere.
My Mom got me started when she joined the DAR and we found an error in the genie info. So I do this for her. I also do it for my two children so they know where they started. And I do it for me because it is fun and I love to find and add new ancestors to my family.
