STEPPING BACK IN TIME...

Stepping back in time has been a litany for me since 2008, ever since my addiction to Genealogy rose up and bit me as I tried to "find" where my grandmother came from in Spain.  Since that time, I have published two books and created several family histories for others.  It has, since then, sprouted wings.  Not only have I put together family trees for my own family members, but I've accumulated history, photos and stories for non-family members as well.  And I enjoyed doing it for free...

Recently, I created two extensive family history packets; one for my granddaughter's other grandmother that filled about fifty hours of my time as well as a financial investment.  I also gathered photos, historical information and researched my son in law's family and created a personal family history scrapbook. I knew this could make me feel happy to help others, but wasn't sure how to proceed.   There was no doubt in my mind that I loved these projects!

Since that time, I have been approached by two different people who have asked me to create their family histories and I had to step back and consider the implications of putting "more on my plate." My immediate reaction was to say, "I just don't have the time.  Yes, I am the self-appointed family historian in my own family, but could I do this as a business?"  Now I am reconsidering the option, thinking about the possibility of reinventing my author's platform and stretching my wings.  

Since researching, cataloging, listening to family folklore and offering personal family histories is a job I love to do,  I made a decision.  I am going to make a plan to launch my new STEPPING BACK IN TIME Family History site.   Although I am an amateur genealogist who has learned where to find information.  I want to fill others with the excitement and exhilaration of finding their family.  

Stay tuned for more information that will include a Stepping Back in Time Family History package that will include a basic option and a more in-depth option.
