Bringing the Past Forward

I suppose it's time to put my genealogy research out there for the world to see. I can spend hours, days, weeks sitting at Ancestry.com, poring over census files, but I'm never going to be able to dig deeply without networking. So, the plunge is taken.

I have split up genealogical research with my Mom - she has her side of the family; I have Dad's. I'm also working on my husband's family. So, surnames I'm working on, and this is completely off the top of my head, include:

Hickman (my maiden name)
Cochrane
Deatrich
Renfro
Haulman
Adams
Sawyer
Cottner

And on my husband's side:

Woolwine
Ronk
Hess
Perdue
Townsend
Carr
Grace
Link

And that, of course, is just the tip of the iceberg. Stay tuned as I document my journey into the past and pull it forward to share. In the genealogy world, I'm just a baby. As I learn more, I hope I'll have some breakthroughs, and I'll be sure to share them here.
