In Search of the Past

For the past four or five years, I have been working on my family's geneology.  At first, I was focusing on the Wilson side of my family.  I knew that an ancestor fought in the Revolutionary War and thought it would be pretty cool to join the Daughter's of the American Revolution (DAR).  I've learned a lot over the years, not only about my family but also about myself.  I've also met some wonderful people - some of them are distant cousins I would never have known about were it not for my geneology research.

So anyway - in the course of my research, I discovered that my great, great, great, great grandfather was murdered!  Samuel Abner Lambert was born about 1804 in Bedford County, Tennessee and died in 1852 in Lauderdale County, Alabama.  In about three weeks, I will be traveling to Alabma and Tennessee to research his story.  I hope to use this blog as a journal of my trip. 

I hope you will enjoy sharing my journey with me!
