[Genealib] How I Got Started

[SHieber at aol.com]

Back when my brother & I were sitting around our mother's dinning room  
table,when we were both in town, the subject came up if our mother knew who our  
father's grandfather, on his father's side, was.  Dad had been dead for  several 
years. She did not know.  The question was presented to our  father's two 
sisters who were elderly and they said they did not know.   They did not know any 
of that family or where they lived.
 
The comedian my brother is, he then decided our grandfather was dropped on  
somebody's doorstep and took on our surname.  He, from that point forward,  
claimed to anyone wanting to listen " our grandfather was hatched".
 
I got our grandfather's death record (he died when I was 2 1/2 and my  
brother not born)  and it told when and where he was born.  That's all  a 
genealogist needs to get started on a tree!
