Traveling back in time

Ancestry research is like traveling back in time. To a time when life was very different than it is now. However, it can also be a sad experience because the deeper you delve into your ancestors lives the more you wish that you had known them. Sadly, you don't always like what you discover. For example, I discovered that my great great grandmother committed suicide & it really hurt me even though I never knew her. I read her obituary & it made me cry. I can imagine how silly that sounds but it's true. It just goes to show that you never know what you'll discover but the discoveries are worth it in the end.

Introduction

For many years I considered researching my family tree but never did it until now. You don't realize how difficult it will be until you actually start doing it. It may be difficult but it's a very rewarding experience because you are discovering about your ancestors past & where it all began. I highly recommend that people give it a try. You never know what you might discover about yourself as well as your ancestors.
