Why Blog My Family History

Hi,

I am The Keeper of Stories in my family.  In my research over these last few months I have found some wonderfull stories about members of my family that have long since passed.  In a lot of cases the stories of these amazing people were very nearly lost to time.  I feel an overwhelming need to document as much as I can about their fascinating tales, so that future generations will have a glimpse of my history, through my eyes.

I must warn you - these are my views on the events that took place.  My stories are based on first hand accounts by living members, old newspaper articles, documents, certificates and letters.  I make no appology for including "the good with the bad".  To my way of thinking, the good and the bad are what make my family history an endlessly fascinating passion.

Please feel free to comment on my posts, I would truly love to know if you can add information which is currently unknown.

I hope you enjoy the stories, and to any long lost family members out there - please, make contact!
