I got my start in family history research back in 1999, when I heard about a new website called Ancestry. I searched for a couple older family names, and within an hour I was connected back to the 1800’s. I was hooked and have been doing it ever since. It’s especially exciting to uncover the details and stories of who they were and what they did.
Through the course of my research, I’ve discovered that my ancestors have been involved in every major war in America’s history. My discovery of five of my direct ancestors’ involvement in the Civil War sparked an interest in their military history and uncovering whatever records I can find for them. I’ve spent countless hours in the National Archives with their records, as well as hundreds of other soldiers’ records in the process.
