I have been interested in genealogy for years because it makes history personal. I have worked hard trying to reconstruct the family history of my mother's German and English ancestors, most of whom lived in St. Louis, MO after arriving in the United States between 1832 and 1872. For those of you who have ancestors in Missouri, you are lucky to have the Missouri Digital Heritage website—a fabulous genealogy resource! Check it out: http://www.sos.mo.gov/mdh/
