Genealogy

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in knowing the history of my family. I really started to research my roots just a few years ago. To think that the stories of my ancestors might never be heard lit a fire in me to go and find and listen. I want to know the struggles they faced and what life was like for them. I guess the ultimate goal is for my ancestors to not be forgotten. With that goal in mind, I want to get my hands on as much information as possible to aid my research and prepare my mind to learn. You can imagine that the new show on NBC, "Who Do You Think You Are?", is right up my alley. The show airs on NBC on Fridays at 8/7C and this Friday will be episode #3 with Lisa Kudrow. If you are at all interested in genealogy, you should check this out. Another show I've been watching is "Faces of America", which aired (airs?) on PBS. You can watch the videos online by clicking on the videos tab. I have embedded Episode 3 below. Be prepared to get sucked in. I find it all very fascinating. So much so that I wish I could quit my job and do genealogy full time.
