To Inspire

Genealogy is a great hobby. Always something new to find whether it be a new name, story or event in history. I hope this inspires you a little bit to find out something new about your family and pass it on so the history doesn't get lost. If your new to my blog, please see the tab "Archive Index" - these are all my past articles. Enjoy!

LINES WILL CONNECT

I haven't posted for a while because I've been doing some research on some lines.  Only to find that they cross, and got real excited!!  I had already made the William the Conqueror connection, but I found some documents that brought his line down and left through siblings to bring me to a great line of another President!  President Coolidge.  It also crossed my Grandpa Appleby's line with his wife's line Grandma Lauderback line.  Way Way Way back ofcourse!! Below is an example of why you go off the path. I have line of grandparents but I also have the line of Uncles and Aunts that bring me cousins - of George Washington and Calvin Coolidge!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
