"To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul." Simone Weil, French philosopher. How can we know who we are until we find those who came before us? This blog is a place to post new resources you have found while searching your family's genealogy, to ask questions when you have come to a roadblock and to share the joy of finding a new piece of your family history.

Ancestor's Diaries/Journals May Support Genealogical Data
I am working on entering all my genealogy info on ancestry.com's Family Tree and have found a supporting source I had never thought of before. I am using Lillian's Diaries: Whispers of Galena's Past to add some of the "flesh" to people who I have statistic data on in my family tree and that Lillian has made diary entries of those same people that expand the person beyond just birth, death, marriage. etc. If you have the pleasure of having old letters or diaries/journals of your ancestors this might be a supporting source for your genealogy information.
