Discovering Where You Came From

Genealogy helps us discover where we originated from. For example, so far I've discovered that I have had ancestors that were born in Germany & England. I was told by my mother that we also originated from Ireland but I haven't discovered that in my research yet. It certainly explains why I've always had a keen interest in Ireland though. My husband & I went to Dublin for our honeymoon so in a way I was in the land of my ancestors at that time. I also live in England so it seems like maybe I'm destined to be close to where my ancestors once lived. It might sound silly but it feels like fate has brought me here & I'm determined to discover more about where I originated from. I feel like there's so much more for me to discover & I'm eager to continue on my ancestry journey.

Families During the Holidays

With Easter approaching I'd like to take some time to reflect on families & how important it is to spend time with the ones you love. Although, it is important to make time for your family anytime not just during the holidays. Families come in all shapes & sizes. I'm a stepmother but I love my stepsons as if they were my own. I have many Easter memories from when I was a child. For most of those memories it was just my mom & I but she always made Easter special. She always made sure I had plenty of treats in my Easter basket but most of all it was the time we spent together that mattered the most. So this Easter make sure you treasure every moment with your families because memories last forever.
