I am Very much into my family ancestry, have been working on it for decades.. I attempt to always tell the story of the person that I am working on. Connecting children with parents always brings me joy! I feel that everyone needs the family around them and if at all possible a picture of them... to tell some of their story.
I do manage many from my home town area.
Most that I manage is in some form a relative, those that I make suggestions for are either relatives or people I knew growing up and they still mean something to me... a teacher, a farmer friend, in some capacity they touched my life or are a very distant shirt tail relative....
