I initially became interested in family history because my mother wanted to research her family history before she passed away. I helped her publish a book on the Joseph Robert and Lucy Ann Knicely Long Descendants. The book is no longer in print and I attempted to keep a spreadsheet on descendants, but I became much more interested in family history so I have not kept the spreadsheet up to date. My biological children are a blend of German, Swiss, French, Austrian, Irish, Scottish, American Indian, and probably others that I have not discovered yet. After struggling to find information on my mother's family, I decided to pursue information on my children's ancestry so they will have it available.
