This is new for me. I've been a genealogist for more years than I care to say. But blogging about it is something altogether new. I don't just work on my family and my in-laws anymore. For the last three and a half years, I have been the Head Researcher at the National Orphan Train Complex. This work is extremely challenging. Researching Orphan Train Riders is not quite like searching for your own roots. It is also amazingly rewarding. It brings me such joy to be able to connect someone with roots they didn't know anything about. Sometimes I can't find much for people - most of the time because it is an extremely common name that is nearly impossible to track.
I hope my blog entertains you and educates you. I am starting out this year by doing the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks challenge by Amy Johnson Crow. I am grateful to her for getting me in touch with my own ancestors. It's been awhile since I dabbled with my own genealogy.
