I have been working on my family history long before I became a member of the church. I have always thought just my Dad's side of the family was big but I was wrong. I am finding out that my Mom's side of the family is just as big if not bigger and more confusing.
So far, I am able to go back to at least the early 1800's on my Dad's side.. (I am lacking middle names or initials for a few family members) and on my Mom's side, I'm back to almost the late 1500's.
Once I get started, I don't want to stop. hehehe.
