[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 412096, member: 4040"] I LOVE LOVE LOVE genealogy searching! I remember asking my grandpa (Dad's dad) about the family, and he laughed and told me they were all "horse thieves, rapists, and murderers." I could never get back any further than his grandpa, until I posted on a message board, and "met up" with a cousin who just happened to be head of the genealogy library at a state university, and he was tracing the family...I ended up with a HUGE collection of paperwork. He did an awesome job. My dad's mom's side wandered a lot; back and forth from Michigan to Ontario, to Nebraska, and then California. Lots of the family are still in Michigan, with some still in Nebraska. I've never met any of them, but they have a huge family reunion every two years. My great-great-grandfather was one of 15, so there's a lot of family around. My mom had a lot of info on her mom's family, but we still know next to nothing about her dad's family, and even her grandmother's name is in question. My next project is tracing the history of my house. I can get back to the early 1940's, owned by the same people, which I think is seriously cool. The house was built in 1918, though, so I still have a way to go. [/QUOTE]
