Having fun yet?

If you aren't having fun searching for your ancestors then you are doing something wrong! Sure the work is serious, but it's not just a quest to get the most names, it is a time of discovery. Take time to find out what life was like the year your great grandparents married. Look at the clothing styles, the newspaper headlines, life in the area they lived.

Where did they come from? Sweden? England? What was life like in their homeland? Were they Quakers, Presbyterians or agnostics? Learn about who they were so you can know more about who you are!
