research

Sitting here on the couch. Ian is asleep on me. The wife has taken Henry off to bed. I'm trying to do genealogy research, starting from pretty much nowhere. I don't know why, but I feel like it's my duty to be able to provide some modicum of information about my family to my kids. Does the information even matter? Will it change anything for them? People I'm related to by blood but I've never met. Dead or dying. Not knowing my kids exist. Not knowing I exist.

I want to be a good father.

  1. You are a good father and whos to say if it matters or not, I thought about doing it myself but ran in to the same problems you are about becoming a member and not having the funds available to do it with.

  2. We started the same thing. We did the free one month trial on Ancestry.com and planned to get a ton done but slacked and ended up paying for a few months. Bryan got a lot done on his side before we canceled the membership but we can always reinstate at any time to do more. They keep all your stuff.
