Generations: the study of the history of families using historical documents to discover the relationships between people. This is my family.
Welcome
Trying to write one's family history can be rather daunting, to say the least. Even more so when you're dyslexic and have poor gramar skills. It can be quite exasperating trying to put some simblance of order to the tons of information I've accumulated since I began this journey while living in England in 2004. Should I write a book, use Facebook, use a genealogy website or write a blog? There are so many options, but no matter which avenue(s) I choose there will always be a family member who will not be able to access portions of my collection and research. What to do, what to do? Do I do more than one? Yes. This blog will be my avenue of sharing information, and feelings, as I progress through a mirad of projects such as writing a book and updating my tree on Ancestry.com. This, I believe, will also allow for sharing of information quicker. Though they are all different in how they share information, the end goal is to be the story teller for my family. To tell the stories of generations that came before me, who still walk with me and for the generations yet to be. I welcome your comments, questions and inputs.

Lloyd George Mallette (1914 - 1961)
My mom’s father. He is buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery. He died the month after my mom and dad were married. My mom only knew his name since my grandmother refused to talk about him.
And now his memorial in Fina A Grave has been transferred to me. I am soooo happy!
