About me

Introduction Welcome to The Northwoods Genealogist Blog. This website is being created and edited by Lisa Kocanda . I’ve been interested in my family history for a number of years. My primary motivation for creating this site is to share the details of my research.. My concern is that if these documents are held in just one small part of the family, then how will other people, in the wider family (with a shared ancestry, and a shared interest in documents about their ancestors) get to know or hear about such documents, or about the family details that they can contain (such as evidence for family relationships that may be difficult to demonstrate from other records alone). These documents and the details they contain could remain unknown to many people who would be interested in researching these family histories. I hope that this can become a very collaborative website, with lots of relatives adding details of the information that they have, and the research that they’ve done into our shared ancestors.
