"A good genealogist has an innate pride in family and country and recognizes his or her duty to search out and record the truth. He or she becomes first of all a full time detective, a thorough historian, an inveterate snoop and at the same time a confirmed diplomat, a keen observer, a hardened skeptic, an apt biographer, a qualified linguist, a part-time lawyer, a studious sociologist and above all an accurate reporter"
~ from Methodology Part 1, Basic Level - Course Material Author Louise St. Denis
Family history is an important part of my life. I've been doing research into the different branches for close to 15 years now. It started out as a school project, that I never really stopped. I've met some amazing people during the process, long lost family members, and researchers that go above and beyond.
Some names I've been researching over the last 15 years include:
Thompson
Nawroth
Grisdale
Nicoletti
Crerar
Young
Torbole
Weidmann
Ullmann
Schroter
There are many other names that are included in my family tree and extended family tree.
If you are researching any of the same surnames or variations please feel free to contract me!
