There is a great program on NBC right now called Who Do You Think You Are? and it comes on Friday night at 8/7CDT. If you are interested in genealogy be sure to watch it. I have been watching the entire series and the shows are extremely well done.
Perhaps you have often wondered why you gravitate towards certain areas of the country, a particular interior decorating style or style of home that you purchase or very often a given profession You might be surprised how much influence your ancestors have had in shaping your life!
There are also the genetic factors involved in your makeup, as to why you might be left handed vs right handed, blue eyed vs brown eyed,or more prone to certain diseases.
Be sure to tune in if you have even the slightest inkling about genealogy and be totally captivated.

Getting Ready For Another Blog
Well folks, I am in the process of setting up another blog which will be to help those who are wanting to trace their family roots!
I will teach you how to develop your family tree, good places to do research on the web and how to interview your living relatives to gather information but I want to actually encourage you to do more than just list important data on a piece of paper or into a GEDCOM file on your computer.
My goal is to help bring your past history alive for you and for all the generations of your family who are yet to come! Your ancestors may be dead, buried in the ground, but they will become alive through you and the living history that you create! Genealogy and history go hand in hand and opens up an entire new appreciation for what your ancestors did to be brave enough to leave their homeland to venture forth to a new country. In some cases, they were forced to leave and come here, many were forced into servitude.
So get ready, get a notebook and a pen or pencil handy because we are about to start soon! If you would like to be notified when this new blog is ready, please leave me a message at the end of this post and be sure to include your name and your email address so I may contact you.
