I've been sucked into doing family history work the past eight months, but especially the past week. I signed up for a two week free trial with ancestry.com and I'm trying to take advantage of that resource before I have to cancel it.
Not only have I been able to put correct fathers and mothers with their children (which sometimes gets confusing when cousins marry in the 1700s and 1800s), but I've felt more of a connection with Cody's family. I feel like I'm a part of that whole line now since doing family history work for them, and then taking some of their names to the temple when we can.
Mostly what I've been grateful for with doing family history work is a feeling of peace. I've really needed that feeling to guide me the past eight months, but especially the last three months. I've been confronted by people that I am related to who have been patiently waiting for someone to find them and link them to their parents, spouse, children, siblings, and I've tried to be more patient myself.
