Welcome to my genealogy blog! I have decided to create this blog to share with you my research into my family tree, the lives of my ancestors. If any readers share ancestors with me or would like to share information on anybody mentioned in my blog please feel free to contact me. I hope you enjoy this as much as I hope to enjoy making it! Ed
