And So It Begins...

I spent my Saturday in the Library and Archives over at St.Croix Landmarks Society, the library here has extensive church records including baptism, marriage and death certificates dating as far back as the early 1700s when the Danes took over the island of St.Croix. With Ronnie's guidance I was able to finally get started, so far we're on the right track. I decided to start with Mary Ann Pickett who was my paternal great grandmother, no one knew when she was born and knew very little of her besides the fact that she was Pops' mother. I was able to uncover her baptism records and that of her sisters! No one ever knew she had sisters! And know one knew who her parents were, but now with the baptism records we have a little more knowledge. For my first day of research it was an awesome find. I printed copies of the docs and shared them with family...and so now the journey continues!
