I don't know if you've heard, but I've been completely obsessed with genealogy lately. More specifically, with uncovering the mystery that is my mother's Puerto Rican extended family. (No one seemed to think keeping records on women back in the day was important...funny.) Anyway, this all started when Molly did a post about neat genealogy charts available on Etsy at
i (chart) you. I kind of fell in love with them. I'm four names away from completing the fifth generation! This obsession has turned into something much more than a home decorating project and it feels incredible to feel a connection with my ancestors. You should try it. I know it seems like kind of an elderly person past-time, but if you wait too long, all of the people you need for information will be long gone! Get on it.
Hey, want to see my Great-Great-Great-Grandpa Horace Strong Rawson? He was a pioneer in the Wilford Woodruff Company...Quite the looker, eh?
Anyway, Molly is doing a fun Christmas giveaway on her blog and one of the gifts is a chart (the digital file). I want to do one for each of my children.
