I’m as excited by other people’s family story as my own.
Where the journey leads.
The journey has led to Dr. James McCune Smith’s gravesite in Brooklyn, New York, articles for Ansearchin’ News (Tennessee Genealogical Society), and my own varied research projects that stretch from California to the Virginia. Want to know the secret of genealogy? There is no end. There are always new individuals and families to research and new information that can enhance what is known about a family.
