About Me

My photo
Nancy
Central Ohio, United States
Sometimes I want to jump back in time, into the lives of my ancestors to meet them, see how they lived their lives, and watch their interactions with each other. Since I can't do that, I spend time learning about them and the times in which they lived. I look forward to meeting them. I've been seriously searching for my ancestors for nearly 12 years. I plan to continue indefinitely. If you think we might have ancestors in common or you'd like to contact me for any other reason, please email me at myancestorsandme @ gmail.com.
