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 - okay, in a bit of shock here. I finally found my grandfather (my mom's dad) on the newly released 1940 census. We did not realize that my mom's dad was previously married before he married my grandmother. Also, my mom never knew this and that she had two older half sisters. Dorthy Jean Mallette born 1935 and Janette Elvine Mallette born 1938. My mom, whos middle name was also Jean was born in 1943.
