Tell us a bit about your genealogy/family history journey
I was at work with half an hour to kill before my shift started. Tartan Day was trending, and my mom always said her dad’s family had Scottish roots. I figured I’d trace my ancestry and post my tartan. That’s the day I discovered the Family Search family tree. That was five or six years ago, and I’m still working on figuring out my tartan!
