Welcome To "Everything Genealogy and Family History"
Welcome to Everything Genealogy and Family History, a group where we can talk about anything and everything dealing with genealogy and family history, and add our Squidoo artistic talents to our interests.Are you intrigued by each ancestral story that brings alive a little bit of your genetic and social inheritance? I am. Just think, if even one of your ancestors -- saints and sinners alike -- had not existed, you would not be here today!
As a retired professional educator and an amateur family historian and genealogist, I am intrigued more by the "why" of doing genealogical research than I am by the "how".. Your interest may be different.
On Squidoo there is room for everyone's interest. You can contribute your little bit (or great bit) of knowledge so that we may all learn more about our family history and the genealogical process.
My Perspective on Genealogy and Family History
Over the last decade, and probably starting much earlier with Haley's "Roots" series on television, the average person has increasingly became interested in his or her "roots". If you are reading this, you are probably one of them.I, like many of them am still an amateur, but an ever learning amateur. Even as my knowledge and abilities in genealogy increase, I hope to remain an "amateur" in the true meaning of the word. "Amateur" means a person who "loves" what he or she is doing. I do not want to lose that "love" of genealogy.
Amateurs usually begin their initial interest in genealogy and family history for a specific reason. They may just be interested in a specific "colorful" ancestor they have heard of, or may think they descend from royalty. Whatever the reason, they have developed a "why" that leads them to want to know "how".
If we get too involved with the techniques and sources related to the "how", we may forget our "why"and lose the "fun of the search". This is something you never want to do.
I believe that the majority of amateur genealogists share my excitement with each of their own discoveries. This site provides you that opportunity.
YOU do your genealogy, family history, family sheets, research methods, and other genealogy topic lenses; and I will organize this site to help all of us to utilize it..
Come and join us!
