Proceed with Caution:
New Year Ahead
After many years of blogging, I have been taking a break to write a family history book about my maternal grandparents and their lives. It is going to take awhile.
So this year, I am going to participate in Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors Project so that I have something to share in my Granite in MY blood blog. That blog is by far, my most popular one so I will reach more readers there instead of here.
My paternal ancestors came here from Scotland, New Year's Eve is a big deal there and I set aside today to think about them and the hard life they lived. DNA has confirmed that my cousins that descend from that line match me and that makes me happy since it has been hard and expensive to track them back.
Today, as I think of them, I am posting a quote from this book, found at Google Books of Scottish proverbs, published in 1876.
My favorite quote is about the topic of Caution. Being careful with your genealogy work bears repeating, especially with investigations of DNA. This quote is on page 5.
