Welcome to my blog

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!
