I spend most of my spare time on genealogy, and have for the past 25 years or so. I have several lines back to the 1500s. One line back further. (Once you tap into European noble family, it’s already done for you! ) I started with my husband’s family, because his family has been in America much longer. My ancestors were all more recent immigrants. My family used to consider it a “hobby” but since moving to Europe, they’ve had so much fun meeting up with distant relatives I’ve found, they are as enthusiastic now as I am. I just spent a week visiting the archives in Switzerland – much fun. A week in Sweden a couple months ago…

Feel free to PM me with any questions, and I’ll help if I can.
