Welcome to Ancestral Journeys, my genealogy research blog. Researching one's ancestors is like taking a journey back through time. Each of our ancestors have a story and those stories are waiting to be told. I hope to do that, as well as outline research methods and other information relating to genealogy and family history. Even if we do not share the same ancestry, I hope you will find some of the discussion and ideas of benefit. For my complete profile, click on the 'About' tab at the top of the page.
About
I am a genealogical and family history researcher living in St. Paul, MN. Originally from the Chicago area, I have researched my own family’s history for about 12 years and enjoy helping others begin researching their own.
I serve as the Secretary for the Minnesota Genealogical Society and on the Education Committee. In addition, I am one of the instructors for the Minnesota Genealogical Society’s Beginning Genealogy course. I am a member of many other genealogical societies and organizations, including various other state societies, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the National Genealogical Society and the Association of Professional Genealogists.
Be sure to check out my cemetery blog, A Grave Curiosity, and my genealogy website, DWS Genealogy.
