I am hoping folks would like to share their stories of success or how they became interested in the activity we do called genealogy??? My interest started with a simple visit to Oregon to find a man who knew the grandpa I never knew, from that I wrote a story about our adventurous journey (the pie was great!) and I truly caught the bug big time. Charles Edward O'Neall b 1900 Chicago was the beginning of it for me, and I have been very fortunate to have help and success since then~I am always looking for more detailed facts about my ancestors and when I am not overwhelmed with other things in my life, I spend a great deal of time working on this family. One of the most wonderful benefits is sharing the material with my siblings............this has created a closeness I am very grateful to have in my life. I would like to hear from others also. Aloha, Jill
