Introduction

I think having a blog where I can talk about my genealogy work each day will be nicer than my old blog where all I do is have emotional rants that don't make sense. I'm currently working on enough genealogical projects that I actually need to have an outlet to write down everything I'm doing or else I lose track. This way I can keep track, and people out there that are interested can read and keep up to date. When I tell someone "I have a bit of a backlog" they can come see how much is ahead of them.

Now to introduce myself. My name is Alice Warner and I am interested in genealogy and archiving. I am interested in genealogy and pulling things together out of original documents. I sit there and look at the census and try to wonder... how do these people fit in? I am one of those rarities that actually looks at everyone and wants the big picture. I don't stop at tracing backwards-- when it gets a little difficult to go backwards I go forwards. I love creating descendancies and tracing all the descendants of someone downwards. My current pet project in that matter is the descendancy of William Grancer Embry-- from Butler County, Kentucky. For those of you visiting from my other counties and not aware of him, he had 9 children, and every one of them had several children-- until a large proportion of Butler County traces back to him at least once if not more in their genealogy.

My website projects are some of my favorites. I love using my computer familiarity (I grew up, literally, with computers. There has been one in my house every day since my birth).
