What is your level of genealogy knowledge?

Intermediate Family History Researcher

For what reason did you start genealogy research?

When my parents died, I realized I knew little about their backgrounds. My dad had a publication for POTTS genealogy which documented his family back to the late 1500s. I was never awareof this tome! Updating our genealogy became top priority after I retired in 1991. I have almost all information for my direct line, which ended with a great nephew who, with his wife, decided not to have children. I'd like to learn more about the maternal side: Thomas, Schmidt, Latour.

Do you have a genealogy website or blog?
