I have been working on the family history for both myself and my dear husband for about four years at this point. But six weeks ago, my life changed forever. I gave birth to my daughter, forever changing the way I look at my research. Before she was a part of my life, I was doing this for my own curiosity. Now I feel a responsibility to show her who she came from, to build a connection for her to the people that she will never have the opportunity to meet with in this lifetime at least.
I come from a long line of woman that may have not played a significant role in the context of world history, but to me, they have shaped the world I know. And for that, I will always be grateful.
