This is my first attempt at a blog. Why a blog? Well I thought I could post random thoughts on doing genealogy research and add tips and *sigh* failures.
I grew up in a small town in NW Oklahoma. We did not have any cousins, Aunts or Uncles, or even Grandparents living here. It was just my family (parents and 6 daughters). We did have 2 Grandmothers who would come to visit on the train.
We took family vacations back to Missouri to visit family there. I only had one cousin on my mother's side and only 2 living on my father's side. So we really had a small extended family.... until my older sisters all started getting married.
Then that added the brothers-in-law and nieces and nephews. By the time I got married we would have a pretty full house at Christmas time.
Then I married and added his family into the mix. My younger sisters married and eventually there were the 6 sons-in-law and 13 grandchildren running around on holidays.
You would think that would be enough for anyone but no. Two of my sisters and I started looking for our roots along with our husband's roots. And of course the extended families connected to them.
I will share some of the good, the bad and the funny things that have happened along the way.
'Til we meet again,
Debbie
