Dorothy Murray, an amazing lady. Thank you for all the memories. You are missed so much. We all hope you have found peace.

Lets start at the beginning

Welcome to my newest blog!

I am very interested in my family tree, researching it, looking into it, old photos, names and such. I have tried multiple ways to document it. And did debate a full blown fancy-pants website to try and cram all of the information into. But layout and structure is a nightmare. SO i decided a blog was the way forward, this way i can keep record of research and what i've discovered without loosing pieces of paper or forgetting which website i found the info on.

So! To start at the beginning of my family tree i guess means starting with me.
