Genealogy Consumes My Life!

Ever since I was a kid, I was exposed to genealogy and was told how important it was to keep track of one's family. My grandfather (whom I called PawPaw) always made it a point to tell me stories of his family, the Cooks. He was the one who took it upon himself to research his family tree. He was utterly fascinated with the bits of information he was able to find. I often chuckle now imagining his reaction of me being able to find generations of his paternal side. His maternal side is still a mystery to all of us. With this blog, I hope to help others in my family who are researching and finding themselves hitting roadblocks. In return, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me when I hit my own walls. In the future, I would like to spotlight my ancestors and tell their stories. I will be providing information on deceased family members as they become available and perhaps will be able to include a photo or other media. Of course, this blog will always be a work in progress. No one's tree is every really completely done, is it? ~Shasta
