2012 proved to be my ROOTS moment. I began a constructive study of my ancestors that led to multiple hours of concentrated studies over the majority of this year. I am not exaggerating when I say I worked 16 hours a day in my efforts as time permitted. Most of that time came after the kids went to bed! Today I am going to highlight some of my blog posts that are based off these studies. I have many more stories. This is a good beginning and I hope you will enjoy what you read and come back for more in due time:
