I really got into genealogy/family history when I had to interview the oldest person in my family for middle school, which was actually my 103-year-old Great Grandma Antionette Marie Hamerle for a history project. Of course, I got an A, but a grade isn't good enough for me. I was really into digging through my heritage on my dad and mom's side.

I graduated from high school in 2016. In 2017, I created my first and last Ancestry app. Ever since then, I have been going to archives, graves, and courthouses. I currently have a subscription for Newspapers.com.

Now it's 2024, and I almost have my mom's side done. Hopefully, in the future, I will work on my dad's side of the family.
