The Who and What

A first blog post traditionally is a "who I am" and "what this blog is about" introduction. As a budding genealogist and lover of history, I find that tradition irresistible.

Who am I?

My name is Phillip and I am a budding genealogist. Over the past few years, I have found myself spending more and more time researching my family lines and seeking genealogical knowledge. The research fascinates me. I have a life-long interest in history, and placing my own family within the larger world provides hours of fun.

What is this blog?

I decided to start this blog to help fulfill a couple of goals. First, I wish to become a better writer, especially regarding writing about family history. Practice, practice, practice! Second, I wish to share what I have and continue to learn regarding my family history and genealogy in general.

Here's to the journey.
