Welcome to my new blog!

Yes, I finally bit the bullet and started this blog after saying that I would start blogging my experience as a budding family historian years ago! Well, today is the day that I embark on this journey as a blogger. I invite you all to share in this experience with me.

About Me

Human. Black. Geek. Introvert :)

How did I become interested in genealogy? 

I have been interested in family history since I was a small child. I remember sitting at the feet of older relatives and listening to stories and family folklore. I began my journey into the world of genealogical research in February of 2006 after watching Henry Louis "Skip" Gates' PBS documentary series, African American Lives. I have been obsessed with genealogy ever since! Now, I want to go further into the unknown. It is my hope that DNA will help me fill in the gaps that the paper trail has not filled. I am also interested in connecting with relatives from all around the world!
