About

Welcome to my adventure in the world of blogging. I caught the genealogy bug and love of history from my mother and her mother. I enjoy learning about the events and circumstances that influenced the lives of my ancestors and caused them to cross the Atlantic Ocean and "the great american desert" in search of a better life for themselves and their children.

I started this blog as a way to honor the lives of my ancestors and tell their stories. It is also a way for me to organize my thoughts and my research, and to share the records, photos and information so carefully compiled and preserved by my mother and grandmother.

If you are related to, researching or otherwise interested in the individuals featured in my posts, I would love to hear from you. Feel free to leave a comment on a post or send me an email at MyOldNebraskaHome at gmail dot com.
