Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
1) Daniel Loftus and several other genealogists on Twitter (see https://twitter.com/hashtag/MyGenealogyStory?src=hashtag_click) challenged genealogists to share what first sparked their interest in family history. What was yours?
2) Post your responses on your own blog, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status post, or on Twitter using the #MyGenealogyStory hashtag). Be sure to comment and leave a link to your post on this post.
Here's mine:
First off, I have written about my beginnings before. First time was with the first week of 52 Ancestors blogging meme in 2018, where we wrote about Start.
The next time I wrote about it was a SNGF post in 2019 asking how we got started in genealogy research.
When I'm introduced to people as a speaker, I always say it was the birth of my daughters that got me thinking about the connection between the future and the past. I do genealogy for my pleasure, but I also do it so future generations know about the family of the past.

Like so many of us, you got hooked right away. Sutro is one library I've never visited, but would love to.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Sutro Library since they moved to the SF State campus. It was so much easier to drive there at their old place that had room for parking. My friend and I hope to visit in the next month or so. Thanks for telling me about the links.
