Introduction

                    Today, I started a Facebook group and this blog to share my ancestor's stories.

 I have been doing genealogy since 2013, there have been many highs and lows but the one thing that keeps me searching is learning about the lives of my ancestors. When I learn a new detail or a fun story, I feel connected to them, and growing up I didn't really feel connected to my family. 

I have a sibling that I didn't get along with, a step-dad that wasn't allowed to have any input on my life, an absent bio-father, and a mother who could be categorized as hateful. Since starting a family tree I have made connections to ancestors I never even knew I had and even felt closer to the ones recently passed.

Hi, my name is Lisa Littell and I live in Iowa. I am a housewife and husky mom. Genealogy is my passion slash hobby.

This blog will go along through my tree by ancestors. I will keep it all grouped by family and hopefully make it easy to read and understand. No jumping around here. If by chance you find this blog and know of the said ancestor I am sharing about please feel free to email me at sleuthingthepast@gmail.com
