Daniel Boone!

Daniel Boone was a famous pioneer man. He was in our U.S. history books. They even made a series show about him back in the 60's- I believe it was. Such a brave and interesting man, who dwelled in a time when survival of the fittest was needed. He did great things in the revolutionary war. He was married to a good strong woman and raised many children.

 Daniel's fathers name was named Squire Boone..... Squire Boone is my great(s) Grandfather!!!!
Yes, that's right. He's my historical claim to fame...Ha-sweet!
 Doing family history is so much fun. It's like doing detective work. I have found direct links to ancestors to be able to join the DAR ( daughters of the American revolution) if I ever chose to.
His brother, Israel Boone, is my line of direct family.
 I encourage everyone, everywhere to get started on a family history tree. It's amazing who you can shake out of the treetops!
 I have found so many interesting stories and lineage to people and places I never knew existed. I am currently finding family as far back as the early 1400's. And let me tell you, that's not very easy to do. They didn't keep records like they do now or even the 1800's. But there are documentations now that are becoming available online. Just make sure they came from reliable sources. Verify-verify! The key word of the day. It's fun, its simple to start ( as in a lot can be accessed online) It gives you a solid worth of who you came from. Family history!  Luckily, I have unlimited access to many sites. What a blessing that is!!!
Spend this fall and winter- during the days that you cant go outside...doing your own research-for your own piece of history. Spend time talking to older members of your family about any family history they know or any stories they can pass down to you- and take notes. You'll be glad you did. I wished someone had  told me to do this when my grandparents were still alive.
Find your own story...
I'm finding mine!

Here's to you Uncle Dan~
Thanks for the readable memories
Peace out ;)
