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.

MALLETTE/MALETTE/MALLETT

MALLETTE/MALETTE/MALLETT---Sometimes that quick research question turns into a gold mine of information. I had something bugging me and I looked into it during my morning break and WOW! I broke through a road block and learned the names of great grandfathers back 4 more generations. New York is no longer the road block, Canada is now. Actually, the question is was Canada the port of entry from England linking to a John Mallett/Malett from London? Something not uncommon for people trying to get into the US in the mid 1700s.
