How We Connect

Welcome

Welcome to HowWeConnect.org, a simple way to share genealogy research, methods, and ideas with others. I’ll share stories, projects, research methods, recipes, and more. I started doing genealogy research over 35 years ago. Although, research methods have been enhanced with digital availability, how to do genealogy research is still the same. Research takes time and involves sharing of information. I’ve found through the years that approaching relatives with a simple family tree is the best way to open dialog about your family’s history, and the perfect starting point.

I always thought that these were my grand aunt Rosa Johnson and her children, I found out through investigating and research that this was not the case.
