Why am I blogging???

Hello!

Today is my first day blogging!!

I have been thinking about blogging about my family and my research for a long time.  For some reason today was the day.  I am hoping that by blogging about my family and my extended family that I will meet new family.  I also would love to connect with others in regards to making myself a better genealogist.

I am a mom to four awesome kids and a wife to a great husband.  I currently work for the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society as the Administrative Assistant.  In my "spare" time I am pursing a BA in History, I enjoy camping with the family and extended family and love to do research!!!

Mostly I really want to share my family and my extended family with others!

So off I go onto a great adventure!  Hope you come along for the ride!!
