Generations: February 2012

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.

Cullimores of Portsmouth, England

I have found a distant cousin with information on my distant Grandfather William Cullimore and the Cullimores of Portsmouth. One of many road blocks broken through.

Thanks to my Cousin Barb for helping me to find this newspaper article on our ggg/grandfather. It ran twice with the same verbiage. I've not yet discovered the outcome after the noted 30 Apr 1828. Thank you Barb!
