I have updated my cover photo to highlight a side trip to Waldshut, Germany in February 2020. My own family research led me to discover my 3x great grandmother was born here. I remember the excitement when I was in the Philadelphia Archives and on her marriage record her place of birth was listed. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever visit, but there I was. It was a beautiful, small, quaint town where everyone knew everyone in the town. Talking to one store owner, I discovered there was a woman living in the town with the same surname as my 3x great grandmother that she knew. She gave me her address, I went to her house, but she was very old and afraid to come to the door. I spoke with her neighbor and she agreed to wave to me from her window. It was a very sweet gesture. I hope to go back again and spend more time.

HOLIDAYS ARE COMING

Make sure you keep your ears open at the holiday dinner table this year, then go on an adventure to discover the past! You can start the search yourself or hire a genealogist for roadblocks or to do the work for you.

Repositories are slowly opening by appointment only for genealogists to perform research. Hopefully walk ins will be the norm by end of summer.
