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.

What an elusive family you are!  In hopes to learn more about my direct family line I try researching  my great grandfather’s brothers, no luck with his sisters yet. I find information on some them, but John Paul, or Paul John, why can’t I find out more about you? I know where you are buried and that according to a 1930 census you remarried.  Whatever happened to her?  Your father Peter is just as mystifying. I lost track of him in Bangor, New York.

 

I’m amazed at the number of divorces in this family. It could very well be that not only did my grandfather divorce my grandmother and his father did divorced my Great Grandmother Margarite but it seems that my Great Great Grandfather could have possibility too? I hope that is not the case. Alphronia Dwyer where are you? Did you die at an early age, move to Canada, left the family?

 

I’ve not given up yet…the hunt for puzzle pieces continues!
