About Me

My photo
Margel
I was a teacher by profession who discovered family history 15 years ago. I am now retired but my zeal for family history has not diminished. I love the chase and discovery of genealogy. I love tramping around old cemeteries or spending the day in a library researching. I love to analyze a problem and think of different ways to solve it. Genealogy provides me with endless mysteries to solve. I must have the soul of a detective. If I ever win a fortune in the lottery, I will travel the world and hire someone else to clean my house. The love of sewing and handwork is in my genes and nothing relaxes me more than a day in my sewing room.
