Goals

First, before I go into what my goals are, I should give you an idea of who I am. I was born and raised in the good state of Idaho. I have been a member of the LDS church my whole life. I served a mission in Toronto, Canada. I have been married for a little over three years, and have two beautiful children. As we all know our goals and feeling about life change as we go through various experiences in life. All these events have affected mine and they have become close memories to my heart.

My first goal is always find ways to serve my family and friends. I am a firm believer that love can only be gained when it is given. Many of my greatest lessons learned have either been while I have been serving or being served. It is hard to remember sometimes that there are two flip sides to the coin of service. One side it the person serving, which is the common side that most people recognize. The second that is equally as important, yet not as well known as the first is the allowing of others to serve you. Service is one the best ways to show love and kindness.

Researching

I never really had a clue how easy it could be to get started finding info on my family. At least the start of it. I have found about eight generations back on a couple of my lines on my father's side of the family. That was the side that I really had no clue of what work had been done. As far as knowing how much work has been done beyond that, I am really not sure. I have also got my Kristen's grandpa sending the information of her family. I may be the one working on genealogy at the moment, but since we are married they are my family now as well. I am curious to see how much our close family members have before I have to spread out and contact family members not to closely related.

Here is a copy of the start of my Pedigree.

Getting Started

I have never really ever done anything in the way of family history, but you can always start somewhere. In my case, I have a disc that I received from my Aunt Linda that has almost 80,000 names on it. This is all on my mother's side of the family. So where do I start, I am not sure, but I hope over the next couple months as I am taking a class on finding my family history I can find a niche that I fit into.
