Ancestry anyone?
Anyone on ancestry.com ?? OMG...I've been starting to document and list all my family members on this and I'm hooked. My boss was talking to me about this yesterday and I've always been interested in it, but she pushed me into starting my family tree. With the recent loss of my grandma this past July - I've been re-connected to alot of my extended family. Or even connected with long-lost relatives, cousins, aunts/uncles I've never met. Seen pictures of aunts, uncles, cousins of everyone that's related to me. My older cousin even facebooked a picture of me and my grandma that I had never seen before from when I was one year old.
Family is important, and I want this record of our family rainforest to be written. ;-)

Re: Ancestry anyone?
My dad traced our ancestry awhile ago-not sure where he recorded it. But I do know that we have some recordings (tapes I think) of my grandparents talking about our ancestry, which is really nice, especially since 3 of my grandparents have passed away in the last few years.
We were able to trace back to a person from England (very distant and I am a real mutt) who jumped ship to get here. That was probably the coolest thing he found.
And my maiden name is Bohemian.
So I guess I have a gypsy background somewhere in there, as well!

Married bio
Yeah, that's crazy. Somewhere down the line, my great-great-great-great grandfather was a Spainard probably around the time of King Philips' war on the Philippines. My boss traced her ancestry all the way to the lineage of a queen!! It's crazy to see where our families come from, and how intertwined it can be, once an uncle/aunt or anyone of us marries into another family - it gets connected, and then we have kids and it continues on. I'm not kidding about my family tree being a family rainforest...I have 9 uncles and aunts on father's side and 8 uncles and aunts on my mom's side. One of my uncles had 6 kids, and one of his kids had 6 kids...geesh the family keeps growing and growing.
Funny thing, you can see the similarity between the entire family, the key features - skin, nose, my indentation on my chin - it's apparent with other members of my family. I feel like I have mini-versions of me floating around the world!
