There were many starts and stops to this journey. To be honest, it took me a while to put the emotional stuff aside. I had come to the conclusion it was fact finding journey. I am not saying it was therapy, but it was a change in the way of thinking.
I downloaded a free family tree software program called Gaia Family Tree. As I sat down to figure the software out, I began to put information in like parents and siblings. I then moved on to what I remembered about nieces and nephews. I even tried to put in wives and husbands. Ugh, it was a test in patience. I realized that I knew more than I thought I did. Dates were a stretch, but cities of birth was doable.
When it came to the grandparents, I reached a stopping point because I had no idea. They were people that had be gone from the world for decades, and I never heard stories about them. Or had I?
Stay tuned the story continues.
