Shannon M. Thomas | Mostly Genealogy

Today, I have been reminiscing about some of my research and remembering our ancestors.  Joseph Thomas was one of the first ancestors that I spent a lot of time researching and wanting to know more.  There is still more to find out and connections to make.  Below is a post I did last year about Joseph. How are you remembering your ancestors this Memorial Day?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joseph is my husband's 3rd great-grandfather.   Joseph was born in 1830 probably in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania and he died 3 Apr 1865 in Hopewell, Prince George County, Virginia from wounds received during the Civil War.

Even those who are non genealogy addicts still found my blog interesting! I like sharing Legacy tips and tricks and how I use it in my genealogy.

I still don't have a great way to track my genealogy -- A research log would be great if I could decide on the best way to do it. I LOVE genealogy! I hope everyone has enjoyed the A to Z challenge for April.  If there are still questions about
