Week 11 2023: Lucky #52Ancestors — Making Sense of it All

Yes, I am.

Several years ago, it was recommended to me that I join my local genealogy society (it may not have been just to me – I think I was in a class). I thought about it for a while, especially since neither my husband nor myself have any ancestors in Johnson County, Kansas. But I am very glad I did take that advice.

I started out as an intermittent attendee at the monthly Saturday morning programs. Then I decided to volunteer at the genealogy desk at the Central Resource Library of the Jo. Co. library system. Then I volunteered to join the board.

Even without fully comprehending the full extent of my board duties, I can unequivocally say that it was one of my best moves. My life is richer now because of my new friends and the work I do with and through the society.

One lucky girl.
