obsession

so my newest obsession is ancestry.com and i do mean OBSESSION! we recently started cleaning out my grandpa's house and i hit the motherload of photos, letters, postcards and genealogy notes my grandfather and other family members took over the years. it is just a mind blow how much there is to go through. i have pretty much spent every spare minute scanning photos in and putting people into our tree. if you have never checked out ancestry.com, i highly recommend it. even for just one side (i have barely started my mom's side and already have found people i had no idea about) the site makes it very easy to track people down with very little info but be warned! it is the funnest treasure hunt type experience you will ever have!
