Of roots and zeal

Genealogy, a modern leisure, becomes increasingly a collection of people who are our ancestors. At times, it’s as if one were a police officer who can identify all of the actors and witnesses in an investigation but is unable to question them directly.

While it is true that we can not examine our ancestors of centuries past, they had daily lives and they left their mark in history: acts of justice, military service, deeds for the sale and purchase of land and many others. The list is long, and each item can help us understand our ancestors.

On this site we are working to share information that each of us holds, either from a systematic compilation of events or by targeted research. For us, genealogy is a perpetual investigation.
