[Genealib] How I got started

[Lisa Rienerth]

I grew up hearing stories from my paternal grandfather about how his
great, great grandfather came from Germany as a fugitive "hiding in the
mast of a ship" and on my maternal grandmother's side of how we had a
"castle in Ireland".  After my mother died I felt it was time to find
out more about our ancestors and to verify the stories. Little did I
know how many family stories contain castaways and castles.  We also
bought a computer around that time and once I started researching on the
computer I couldn't stop.

I have been working on my family history for eleven years now...no
castaways or castles have been found.
