Ever wonder what inspires us to keep digging for family history in libraries, databases & musty old records offices?
The excitement of discovery and the sense of kinship in finding treasures like this - Ian's Grandmother's birth certificate - and the data it holds. We've both got files full of these sorts of things now. I particularly get excited over documents (like marriage certificates) that contain signatures of family we didn't known existed until we searched for them.
As this blog evolves, we'll post more of these records. Just as with the pictures we're collecting, as a researcher, it's not fun knowing you have the only copy. As we share these things with you, it's reassuring to know our copy is not the only copy.
