Linda, Hi:)

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.
