Who were my ancestors? I've often asked this question. For my Genius Hour in English class I will be researching who my ancestors were. To do this I will be using Ancestry.com. I'm interested in who my ancestors were, because I desperately want to know who I am, and where I'm from. As this project continues I hope to learn about my heritage and how I ended up where I am today.
     With so many countries in the world it's often hard to think about why you're where you are. How did you end up here? How did you come to be here? Not only do I want to answer these questions but I also want to find out what kind of people I come from. My Grandparents always used to tell us that we were vikings. While I know that my research won't track back to vikings, I do want to find out if I had ancestors close to where vikings were rumored to be.
     I can't wait to begin answering all the questions I have in my head. With my research I hope I can learn all I want to know, and slowly but surely begin to open the doors to my past. I hope you'll join me in this ride as we take a look into my ancestors lives, and help me understand who they were and where they're from.
