Family Tree

I've got to get to some chores so let me see if I can get this down fast and I can elaborate more later.

It started as something I wanted to do for my husband and an Uncle. My Uncle's family (or my biological mother) is hard to find any information. But, I spent 2 or 3 months trying to get one for my husband's family. The surprise came when I found out that my father in law wanted this information. So.. guess what he got for Christmas?

For both families I've been fairly limited to what I can find on the internet. Then, the other day there was email... from a cousin! The person remains unknown to me actually but it's kindof cool to have stumbled upon someone living among the slew of people that have been gone for decades if not centuries. This is a cousin that is on my husband's side of the family.

Awhile ago I found my half brother. I thought this was cool but because of the family history thought it best to let sleeping dogs lie. But, I was encouraged by others who would want to know if they had a sister, to contact him and I did. Suddenly I'm not so sure I did the right thing. Ah well, it seems I have questions to answer.

Laters.
