Hello, whoever might be out there reading this.

When I started this blog back in 2017, I was so determined to extend my grandpa’s family history back as further than my grandparents were able to. I had notes from their conversations with relatives about people who had died decades before, murky recollections from their own memories, and a random collection of photos of people but no indication of who they might be. I was so committed to putting together as much information as I could.

I have made a lot of progress since 2017 and even since I last updated this blog in 2019. I’ve been able to make contact with several people from different branches in my family and found some documents from my grandparents research decades ago that had been forgotten. There’s also been a lot of life that has happened in the present, both good and bad. Some of that life forced me to push my genealogy research to the back of my closet. From getting engaged during the COVID-19 pandemic, changing careers, moving house, and going back to school to get a Master’s degree, I didn’t have much bandwidth to focus on the past.

However, with all of these life changes, I finally feel stable in my personal and professional life. I recently have found myself dipping my toes back in to genealogy. And now? I’m 31 pages into my compilation of research, with hopes to have it ready to be sent out to my relatives by the end of the year. As I go through the process of finishing it up, I will be uploading a few more posts here.

I still have a lot of blanks I’d like to fill eventually, but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and I can’t wait to share more!

Thank you for reading,

Britt
