Adventures in Genealogy

This blog was started when I began to research my genealogical history. I will use it to document my family tree (and stories) to the greatest extent possible. The purpose is to create a record of the family on the off chance that, 100 years from now, somebody has a curiosity about who we were and where we came from. I don't expect it will be of interest to the vast majority of those who may stumble across it (I come from modest stock). Mostly, it's something I've created for myself.
