52 Ancestors – Week 38 – Cousins
When I saw this prompt I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about, then it hit me I would talk a bit about my quest into the world of DNA. As I have wrote in the past I am one of the least sciencey (yes I made this word up), people I know. I…Read more »
52 Ancestors – Week 31- Brothers

Always learning…
I had a genetic cousin contact me early Sunday morning, asking how we are related. I could tell immediately she was related through my Dad’s family but that is all. A little deeper digging and I could tell she was my Dad’s paternal line. Unfortunately, that is as far as I could get. Unlike my…Read more »
Welcome!
Meet Earl and Frances (Stewart) Witherwax, my maternal grandparents and the reason I started this family history journey. My Grandma was my initiation into our family history, though Grandpa took us everywhere. I think he did it to humor Grandma at first, though he was fabulous at throwing out comments like “I knew we were…Read more »
