Lori & Aine - Genealogy, A Never Ending Journey

About 3 years ago, I started researching my family tree with a free trial month on Ancestry. That small step led to connecting with relatives I never knew existed, finding out important details about our family history I never knew and giving me a deeper insight into family dynamics and a more compassionate understanding of certain family members.

For some reason, I didn't continue with paid membership until January of this year. Once I signed on and more consistently began pursuing genealogy, I decided to get my DNA tested which opened up new avenues of research and revealed more new family members, many of whom I have yet to determine exactly how we are related. This journey has been absolutely fascinating and I wanted to share my discoveries with you. I was waiting for the right moment. 

That moment revealed itself a couple weeks ago when I saw a Facebook post made by Aine Dee. You may remember her from EP21: Sylvia Warren and Aine Dee - Our Humanity Rising

Aine's post began, "RESEARCHING MY ROOTS IS CALLING IN MY ANCESTORS". That title, along with details she shared about discoveries she made after getting her DNA tested, really piqued my curiosity, especially when she honed in on how she felt this connection to her grandfather and his wisdom. All of a sudden he was present with her and wanting to be in conversation. She said, "He's encouraging me to change my lineage, backwards, sideways and forwards, like he never had the patience or fortitude to do - and I still don't know what that means exactly."
