This is our family history research blog. We have been doing genealogy since we were living at home.
Jonathan has been interested since he was 16 and learning about family while working on the BSA Genealogy Merit Badge. He has been working on family history research off and on since.
Adrienne has been into family history since the age of eight or nine. While on the annual summer visit to my grandparents' house, I would help with the family history research and documentation with her mother and grandmother.
While in college, I (Adrienne) volunteered for a couple of years at a local LDS Family History Center. I learned so much while being a staff member.
After we were married in 1998, our combined love of genealogy grew. Two cross-country trips in 2002 and 2005/2006 proved to be incredible experiences for our family.
We were blessed to be able to visit multiple family members. We took photos of us and our boys with family members. Photographs were scanned and saved to be shared with other family members.
Cemeteries were also visited. GPS was newer back then and that was a learning experience. GPS coordinates were taken for the headstones located. Photographs were snapped of headstones for future reference.
In more recent months, we have begun to teach our oldest two boys how to research our family history. It is fun to watch them learn about the different programs and websites that we use.
We are working on adding photos of our ancestors that have passed. We do respect the privacy of the living and will not post photographs of them without their consent.
So grab a cup of hot cocoa (our family favorite) and read about our family. If you are related, we would love to know!
