I think that's amazing. And I'm finding that, as I get older and have a child who is (inevitably) getting older, I'd like to know more about my ancestry. But I don't know where to begin. I have information on my mother and grandmother, but when it comes to my birth father? All I know is his full legal name and that he is from Colombia. Where do I begin? I might be able to trace the wonderful people from my mother's side (who are, I believe, Welsh and Swedish), but sadly, all the great and strong women on my father's side? They may be lost forever. Or have no records. I'm so uncertain! But I would like to know, and I can see why this is not only fascinating, but also utterly important, to you.
