So looking forward to 2020, I have all sorts of projects and goals in mind. It is going to require me to be a bit more organized with my time and with my research. Genealogy Projects for 2020 File a DAR supplemental application for my daughter through her paternal grandma’s line. Clear the DAR AdditionalContinue reading “52 Ancestors – Week 51 – Future”

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. IContinue reading “52 Ancestors – Week 38 – Cousins”
52 Ancestors – Week 31- Brothers
I truly believe that our ancestors reach out to us and speak to us. I have been doing a lot of research on my Beardsley/Curtis Lines. I have been working on an assignment for ProGen but I am also trying to link back to another Revolutionary War Patriot, Eldad Curtis. It is tough going becauseContinue reading “52 Ancestors – Week 31- Brothers”
52 Ancestors – Week 15 – DNA
I will admit that I am not a real sciencey person. Most of it goes right over my head. In school science bored the tears out of me. The only science I could somewhat handle was psychology which is why 90% of the science in college was different psych classes with the exception of biologyContinue reading “52 Ancestors – Week 15 – DNA”

Yesterday was day 1 of my 30 x 30 challenge and let’s just say it raised more questions. I decided to start with my husband’s 2X Great-Grandmother, Bergetti Netland Osborne. Gerard’s Norwegian Great-Great Grandparents call me and when they are speaking you need to listen to those voices. You need to tell the story. IContinue reading “Bergetti Netland Osborne (30 x 30 Day 1)”
Some of my Favorite Podcasts
I love podcasts. I find them a great source of personal development. It fills the time when I am driving back and forth to work or while waiting for the kids to get out of activities. I became addicted to podcasts when I first started as a Beachbody Coach and my tastes have evolved overContinue reading “Some of my Favorite Podcasts”
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 myContinue reading “Always learning…”
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 wereContinue reading “Welcome!”
