New Year...New Look

I got new glasses!

For the first time since 2004 (I know...I know) I finally got a new pair of glasses. Usually I let my vision insurance pay for my contacts every year. This year I have "double" insurance with JGIII covering me through his work so I went for it. Maybe now I won't relegate my glasses to only at bedtime so I can see the TV before I fall asleep. What do you think of the new look?

I've Only Found HOW Many Ancestors??

So one thing I haven't mentioned on here is my LOVE of family history research/genealogy/ancestry. My grandmother and her sister kept great family records and had MANY pictures passed down to my mother and I that has always interested me. Several years ago, to help out this new found hobby of mine, mom gave me a subscription to ancestry.com for Christmas. I don't think she anticipated having to continue to give that gift every year but the most important thing I've learned by researching my family history (and some of Jamie's as well) is that you are never finished.

I read about an exercise with statistics that gives you an idea of how far you really have left to go in your research so I decided I would try it out to start out the new year.

WOW!! I've been working on this for several years and I only have 3.19% of my family discovered???Just goes to prove how much more work can be done-I've only scratched the surface.

Here's my family tree for the first 5 generations:
