I suppose almost everyone has at one time or another thought or said they wish they knew more about their heritage and what made them who they are and how they got to be at this place. Most Americans have a history of ancestors coming from some other country. Most of the information is out there somewhere, but the trick is to find it… like the proverbial needle in the haystack. You just have to move one straw at a time and eventually you will find something that will lead you to the next step. When you find that one nugget of information, it is like a gift or a prize. With the help of a lot of people you can piece together some form of history as to where you came from. I am fortunate to have other members of the family who have put a lot of time, knowledge, and effort into doing research and have shared with me the information they have found. When you find the information, always be willing to share this information with other members of the family. With this basic information, and sometimes using my imagination and knowledge about that period of time, I have tried to weave together the history of what it might have been like living during those times when our forefathers lived. This is my genealogy, but many people could put their name in the place that I have my name as our beginnings are very similar and our heritage came from a path that is the same.
