Trace your family tree

This post is a shameless plug to get you interested in searching out your ancestors. At familysearch.org, you can get a sign-in and do some research or just see the research that has already been done. If you are LDS, use your member sign in that you would look up the ward phone list with. If you're not LDS, you can create a log in of your own.

I am new at it and was showing my dad while he was here this weekend. We found a line on his mother's side that went back to the 1400's. So I was trying to show Melody but went back on a different line. As you go back farther in time, there are many different lines of descendancy. Most of them, I have not looked at yet. But lots of research has been done on my dad's maternal side. Here is just one: (maiden names; dates are year of birth, places are place of birth)

My daughter-in-law is a descendant of Eric the Red and my son is a descendant of William the Conqueror. This totally explains my grandson Ben's behavior! :-)

It's fun. Go see where your lines of ancestry lead! I haven't even looked at most of mine yet. I have a lot more to do.
