Family History and American History

This is going to be my Family History blog.
I have been researching my family [maternal and paternal] since 1996. My father has been working on his for about ten years longer.
From this hobby I have developed a love for American History and have found excitement in the search to relate my family members to the times they lived.
I haven't been willing to recreate my Family History pages after Lycos destroyed them, so maybe I'll be more involved with this newer format.I've looked at others pages and been very impressed.
Let's see if I can do something entertaining, at least.
Smiles!
