Re: What or who got you hooked on genealogy?
|
I had heard lots of family lore type stories growing up, and I wanted to find out if they were true. Also, I came across a lot of photographs and some documents written by family members.? Penny
It was after?my mother passed that I got into genealogy.? It made me feel close to her. ?

Something or someone prompted you to start your family research.? What was it?
?
For me it was finding some ancestors on a passenger list, including a photo of the ship on which they sailed.? I was astounded that information could be found on the web.? The passenger list seemed to confirm what my great great Aunt Maria had told me:? she and other members of the family went back and forth across the Atlantic several times.? That piqued my curiosity.? The family I found were a generation before my aunt.? Did they also go back and forth?? Could I find other members of the family on passenger lists?? Thus began my very long dive down the rabbit hole of family research.

I am looking forward to reading what started you on this fascinating hobby.
