Blog: The Ancestor Hunt

I came across this website, The Ancestor Hunt, through Pinterest (which is a great place to find family history related information). I've poked around there a little bit and there are a few treasure troves to be found.

Particularly for newspapers and photos.

The photos for Illinois specifically lead me on a wonderful tangent that resulted in me locating a photo of my 4th great-grandfather that I have never seen before! Gold mine! (more to come from that story)

Lesson: Never hesitate to poke around on random websites, you never know what you will unearth!

Sarah- A Tree Climber

I'm a busy mother of four who goes through spurts of family tree climbing in the midst of caring for my own growing trees.

This is a place for me to share my climbing adventures with my family, friends, and maybe even cousins who are climbing the same tree.

This blog is evolving. It started as a research log of my findings and efforts to source information, as well as family history related news and information. Technology is changing and a lot of the sources I was posting on here are more readily available on familysearch.org where they are linked to the world tree.

If you have information to add or would like more information about my ancestors or sources please contact me at famtreeclimber (at) hotmail (dot) com

Happy Tree Climbing!
