So It Begins.....

The initial post - I've decided to begin a blog to record the surnames I am researching and to diarise my progress...we will see how successful it will be.

Ultimately I want this blog to not only be a record of what I am doing but also to be a connection in cyberspace to other possible relatives and perhaps even a learning space for others just beginning.....

Why Links in a Chain....well I believe that we need to be linked to past and future generations - sometimes the chain gets broken and researching the past enables us to repair the chain and makes it stronger...we can see the journey the chain has taken and where other chains have linked to it over time.....
