My Research Roots | |||
I first became interested in my family genealogy when I was 10 years old. My teacher gave us an assignment to design our family tree. The project was the beginning of my life long genealogy and family history research. As a teenager, I was fortunate to have "interviewed" all four of my grandparents regarding their parents, grandparents and siblings. I wish now I had asked them more questions (don't we all?). With my interest in family history I have proclaimed myself the "self appointed Family Historian". So far there have been no objections. I am a member of the DAR *Old Glory Chapter, Franklin, Tennessee, NSDAR National Society of the Daughter's of the American Revolution *GSMD The General Society of Mayflower Descendants *NEHGS New England Historic Genealogical Society. In October, 2004, I was the winner of the 23rd Annual Audrey Zube Jones Family History Purchase Award for Genealogical Emphasis, for my book, "The März and Sperl Family History; Our German-Bohemian Ancestors" presented by the Heritage Education Committee, Moorhead State University, Moorhead, Minnesota.
Hooked on Genealogy I am not the only one in my family hooked on genealogy. My brother, Lenny and I have been working on our family lineages together since 1992.
Meet Two More There are two more family members who also keep our family heritage alive. They just have a different way of expressing it. Their Family Plots Project is so unusual, you have to see it for yourself.
