A,B,C Friday Share # 8 "H" is for History

Thanks to Maple Leaf Mommy and  Mom vs the Boys for hosting this fun  photo share.

I had to really think about this one. I just couldn't come up with an idea I thought would fit. So, again going along with the theme of family, here's what I came up with. 

For this weeks Friday Photo Share "H" is for History. Specifically a little history of our family. 

Without our parents and grandparents being who they were, we would not be who we are today. So I dug through some old stored files and found a few photos of our family history.

Working on a New Family Tree

Did I happen to mention that genealogy is another  interest of mine. I've recently bought a new Family Tree Maker. I'm having a great time adding relatives, from ancestry.com, that I didn't know I had.

I love it when a leaf pops up!!! Our family has a lot of extended ancestral names in it...some are Kelly, White, Ketchum, Sharkey, McLaughlin, Price, Wallace, just to name a few. Most of them hail from either England or Ireland.

I guess knowing about your ancestors, tells a little about who we are, too. It's interesting to see the repeated names and dates within the families.

There are a lot of genealogy sites out there, but  for now I'm using the ancestry.com that came with the program. The free access runs out the end of April, so I've been scrambling to add as many ancestors as I can, until then.

Hope there are also some genealogy buffs out there, too
