Bio
Welcome to GeneaBloggist, a blog that focuses on genealogy. My goal is to share genealogical info with family members, as well as to provide guidance and motivation for anyone interested in delving into their own family history.
My name is Kathleen—aka Kathy. I'm a wife, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, niece, aunt, cousin, retired teacher, freelance writer/editor, and genealogist. My passion for genealogy began when, even as a kid, I enjoyed learning about my parents’ and grandparents’ experiences and family histories. Soon I began collecting and documenting genealogical information. Once hooked, there was no turning back.
My genealogical pursuits have put me in contact with relatives near and far—many I had never met before. My searches have taken me to places I might not have visited—homes, cemeteries, courthouses, historical societies, and genealogical libraries (including three trips to the incomparable Family History Center in Salt Lake City).
Many people have asked me how they, too, can begin researching their own family histories. With innumerable places to search, the process can be daunting. But the important part is to get started. Best wishes!
