My husband Chuck and I live on the West coast and have visited the lower 48 States in our travel trailer. We did this at first, just to enjoy the beauty, but also searched for little pieces of our heritage. We both enjoy doing this, but it does remind us of how much we wished we had asked questions of our family while we had a chance, but sadly now, it is too late. We are grateful however for the search options now available and the world wide contributors willing to help. Using these tools we hope to gather some of the "lost"information that we failed to ask and preserve it for our children and grand children and beyond and in the process help others that are also searching.
