Goal #12

Goal #12: Do My Genealogy

I love family history. There is something truly satisfying to know where you come from... who you are. Every once in awhile I get this genealogy itch knowing I need to do more.

However, I have found a similar activity that is almost as fulfilling.

I LOVE Indexing.

I started years ago and try to do some as often as I can.

I think this is an outlet for my inner-history-nerd. I am fascinated with names and dates and stories. I love indexing census' and wondering what each family was like and what their experiences were. Birth, Marriage, Death certificates. They all have stories. Most have been forgotten.

Speaking of forgotten stories...I just learned my Great Great Grandfather was a drunk and sold off all of his children. Yeah... not sure how I feel about that one yet. 

So... while I'm not completely fulfilling my goal yet... 

I am enjoying imagining other forgotten stories of the past.
