A New Hobby

At our last stake conference, we were encouraged to get to work on our family history. We have been taught this many, many times, but for some reason both of us felt an urgency to really get started. So we jumped into it....and we got very overwhelmed!!




Thanks to a very knowledgeable friend, we got a few pointers and some essential tutorials and now we are knee-deep into family history work. And we have discovered: It is fun!! And exciting!! And frustrating!! It is a lot like solving a mystery or building a puzzle... and it is extremely rewarding. Lately I have been spending all of my "free" time searching, sorting, and discovering. We live in an exciting time when most of the searching can be done right at home from our own computer! It is pretty amazing!
