Contrary to when I was working on my degree, I am not taking this class for a grade or to check off a requirement on a degree plan. Instead, I am taking this class to learn more about my family who include those biologically identified through a linage chart as well as those I have chosen to love and include in that inner realm of my life. In addition I hope to learn more about myself from my family and those who have helped shape me into the person I am today.
I have done little family research before; it consisted of a high school project that required I identified photographs and facts about my parents, siblings, grandparents and great-grandparents. The idea of my reading that project (which I still have) is interesting and somewhat funny, especially to see how my perspective will have changed after so many years.
I am hoping to explore information on my family, obtain new information about them that I can then articulate to my children and grandchildren. I am also interested in learning new technologies to aide in the research and writing process.
