This is an ongoing project, which of course will never end...well, unless I hit a dreaded "brick-wall"
For the most part, this family website is a huge melting pot!
The search for our ROOTS began sometime in 2006 when my oldest daughter, 7 years old at the time, had to draw a family tree to take to school...
There we were, my husband and I, trying to remember what our grandparents names were. Then, my husband remembered he still had a family tree he drew and took to school when he was little. Off he went, searching through the boxes of "stuff" he couldn't bring himself to part with years before. Luckily he found it, so we managed to send our daughter off to school with a pretty simple family tree (my husbands' and my own granparents were as far as we could remember) and that was that.
About two or so months had gone by, and we still had not put the old family tree back in the box where my husband had kept it for many years. I took a look at it and after a couple of minutes I thought it would be pretty neat to see if I could find where those people came from and who their parents were...
...from the moment I started searching I knew I was hooked! LOL
Though it can be a frustrating journey at times...the rewards of discovering where we came from, and the fact that my children will not have to wonder about their roots makes it all worth it!!
At the moment, most of the information, documents and pictures found here pertains to my husband's family. I promise to add anything I have on my family, whenever I receive bits and pieces of it from Chile :)
As always, this is an ongoing project, so please come back and see what's new as I will be adding pictures and documents as I find time to do so.
Thank your for visiting my page and enjoy!
