Fresh Start: The Curious Genealogist

With the restrictions of the pandemic, there has been time to research family history. So there have been a few benefits of being stuck at home. Hopefully, you have enjoyed your family history research as much as I have the past several months. 

Family caregiving kept me from regular postings and responding to comments over the past several years. I regret that I was not timely in responding to some of you! However, the upcoming months bring opportunities and much excitement as the ladies of the Daughters of the American Revolution will celebrate 100 years since efforts were taken to save the home of both Betty Washington and Fielding Lewis. And...I am able to get back to the research that keeps me time travelling!

It is my hope to have Betty Washington Lewis recognized for her patriotic service as the Daughters of the American Revolution currently do not recognize her contribution. In my years of research, I have enjoyed learning how much Betty Washington Lewis was able to accomplish as a women in colonial times!

There are many research institutions with collections that have made my research journey incredibly exciting...and the people who have provided access to the collections have been so helpful! I look forward to discovering a few more collections that have been on my "to do" list to see. I hope you will join me by sharing your experiences with genealogical research and family history.
