In my late teens, early twenties, I wanted to know where I came from. Not the "birds and the bees" where I came from; my history. Genealogy had always been around but became more popular in the late 70s. It all started when I gave Mom a book for Christmas which basically taught you how to grow your family tree. I created a monster. I've never been happier I did.
I'm assuming since I am "Dr. Frankenstein" in this case, I was given to honorary title of family historian. And I'm very proud to be. I now have all of my mom's research as well as my own. You've no idea how happy I am our home has an "office". I discovered on one branch of the family, I am a descendant of Francis Cooke. He came over on the sharp looking ship posted here.
I'll be posting my journey through the past. Join me if you like. Always feel free to comment or ask questions. I think it will fun.
