My Family

I created this blog to keep track of my family history research. I do most of my research online.

The Francis name is my husband's which was originally Francisco from Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal. He also has ancestors from Sweden and England. So far, I have found that my family has come from Italy, England, French Canada, Scotland, and Ulster Ireland (Scotch Irish).

I have also taken a DNA test, which shows mostly Italian, but also England and France.

Finding Living Relatives

It has been a while since I last posted, I have not been doing much research lately. It is nice though to have your family tree posted online, as even if I am not actively researching, others can use the tree. A couple of people have contacted me regarding my tree, one was a close cousin, another a distant one still living in England (from my husbands family tree). They again have spurred my interest in research, so I hope to start finding more information. I started with Lucy A Holbrook Torrey again - looking into the lives and families of her siblings. I also have upated my last entry on her with some information - or lack of information - here.
