Made Some Progress in 2017: Hoping to Make More Discovering in 2018

Happy Last Day of 2017!

I made some progress over this year. I came across more family connections on my mother's side and my father's side. Most of the connections were through the DNA matches.

I believe that there are more cousins out there. They are searching to find more on their family history What will do they know, if they keep searching the leads that they have, they might find more if they don't give up.

I've learned that when I kept searching, I came across more clues to follow up on. It takes time to search from information. We can guess at things. But, things have to match up in the long run.

I hope that you have discovered more on your family connections. I hope that you can add more to your family tree. I'm thankful for those who have added more to family connections.

I thank God for those who are reaching out. And those who are interested in finding more connections through the DNA route.  I'm thankful for family connections.

Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.

Another Year Dawning: Family Connections Continues

 I wish you all the Best of 2018.

Just a reminder: If you haven't started searching for your family history, I hope you do. Start with what you know... Ask family members what they know. Family history is an adventure to journey through. It's takes a lifetime in the doing. And one person can't do it all.

I hope others will drive in and be apart of the team who records their history.  I'm in the process of reviewing some of what I've discovered over the years. I see this as a necessary thing to do every year. I found new info and have to make some corrections.

Indeed, it's an adventure to explore and discover our family connections. We all have a story to share. We should want to share what we know about our ancestors.  I hope people will share.

Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.
