Oh my friends, I am so beyond excited to start this journey. Before I do though, let me just tell you that I am in NO way affiliated to or sponsored by Ancestry.com. I wouldn't turn down some kind of partnership, of course, but this post is my own and in no way an advert.
I've been into genealogy for a very long time, years and years and years. That curiosity peaked when I first watched an episode of Who do You think You are? around the time it first came out. I love watching it and find it absolutely fascinating following the different individual journeys through different countries and eras, right back to their ancestors. I wish I could do the same, it would be the best thing ever if I was able to not only retrace my ancestor's steps, but actually go to the physical places they once lived, worked, and eventually passed.
But I can't, cause you know, I'm not famous, and I don't have money to travel all over the world LOL
The next closest thing is to just do what is available to me, online and try to go back as far as I can.
