I, unfortunately, lost my parents when I was just four years old. We were sent to live for a while with my maternal grandmother and her husband. We were not told much of any family history, and in fact, I was the only one as an adult that knew that grandmother, and her twin sister, had changed their first names when they got married back in the 1930s. When it became apparent none of the surviving cousins knew much about where we came from, it started my quest into researching family history. That was 13 years ago, and I'm still going strong. I've researched not only my own family, but many other family lines as well.
