Connections

Genealogy, searching for roots and looking for connections is perhaps a return to that universal childhood question of "where did I come from?". Feeling a self imposed sense of urgency (perhaps a post mid- life awareness) Alida and I have made many discoveries in a relatively short period of time. It's all about documentation, putting the pieces together and connecting the dots. It is fun and new discoveries are exciting.
"Where did I come from?" The geographic answer to this point in my search is in the Maryland countryside of the late 1700's and the urban landscape of a mid-1800's Philadelphia. Ireland, Scotland and Germany are on my research radar. The journey continues, life is good!
