Family Discoveries: The Heart Of Searching For Family Connections

Happy February!

I can't recall when the inspiration for me to search for my family connections begin. Though the years, my heart of searching for family connections has grown. I've been connecting other family members to one another. Thank You, Jesus!

I pray that others who are searching and those who will have the desire to search for their family connections, will reach out to others so that they will discover more on their family history. There are a lot of people who don't know where to search searching.

I'm  thankful that there are people who are taking the DNA test. I've have more DNA cousins that I didn't know about. DNA is a good place to start your journey. It's helpful to start a family tree as well.


I have made some new discoveries some years ago. I was searching old newspapers online. I came across two sisters.   Inez E. CAMPBEL BLAKEY and Velma Mae CAMPBEL MARYLAND.   I stumbled across that they were married to brothers. And that the sisters passed within a day apart.
