I have been researching my family for about 12 years. I became interested when I heard that my great grandmother told my uncle that we were "part Indian and part Yankee". I wanted to find out how true this was. I became hooked immediately.
My biggest struggle so far is getting through the "stonewall" in my Jackson line. I hope to, one day, locate my 4th great grandfather's (Cornelius Jackson) parents.
