Welcome to my blog. I hope to share my family and finds with you. I made a goal to start a blog by May of 2012 and so I just started one, but didn't really say Hello!. So here I am, waving and saying Hello!
My name is Tina Burkart Gibson. I first became interested in family history or genealogy in the late 1970's. I watched Roots by Alex Haley, and found it very interesting. I was only about 14 when I saw the movie, and it took a few years to really get into genealogy. By then I had started a family, so my hobby once again took a back seat. I have decided that I would like to work on my family tree on a daily basis, and I am working on that.
I live in Ohio as did all of my direct family lines. We have a very heavy Ohio line. Almost of my grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents lived on Ohio at one time or another.
I have 4 children and they keep me pretty busy, so my posts will be a little sporadic for awhile, but I hope to get in a routine and have more regular posts.
I especially love the personal side of history, the family stories, and their personalities. I hope to bring some of the personal side of genealogy to you through my blog. I would like to write about other things as well, so who knows where this could lead, but I am game! Are you?
Well, I just wanted to say Hello, and introduce myself. I hope you enjoy some of my stories. Thanks for reading!
