Indiana Roots

A few years back, I started a private Facebook group for my immediate family, prompted by my niece Kyrsten’s inquiry about our family history. It was called OUR INDIANA ROOTS and it traced my mother’s family back to pioneer times. That page was sadly lost because I failed to name anyone else administrator before my account was hacked and permanently deleted.

I was off the social media site for close to a year. When I rejoined the Facebook community this summer, there was no getting that content back. I still have my research and my Ancestry account, but all the family connections I’d made previously, I’ve yet to re-establish. And since arriving on Fort Myers Beach, I’ve had very little time to focus on genealogy, a decades-long passion. I think I’ve had my laptop open a couple of times.

I went back through this blog to find some of the old posts and so here is a sampling:

I’ll get more settled here and find time to do more research and writing. I already have a 600+ page manuscript on my Mills family, Mom’s pioneer ancestors. One day that’ll be a published work of mine. One day.
