Welcome to my family genealogy blog...where I dig beyond the names and dates. This site is devoted to genealogy research, family stories, mysteries, research tips, old photographs, and lessons learned from decades of tracing the past. Send inquiries to: gaylevanh@gmail.com.

Happy New Year to all who enjoy the ongoing quest of genealogy. I hope your discoveries in 2023 leave you breathless (in a good way !!)
