Sometimes, I wonder what I might write about next. I certainly have a plethora of family surnames for which I can rehash my research on each up until this point. That fills up my blog for most part as it is. I often wonder if I will run out of things to write about. Then, I remind myself that I certainly haven't run out of genealogy topics to verbally talk about. I also haven't finished going through the information that has been handed to me in yet another box of treasures.
While I try very hard to keep living people out of my blog, I find that I would have even more family history to write about if I could. I will hold off since those living people do want their privacy. I also find that I must be cautious in writing about those who came before that I personally knew. I would never want to dishonor them and want to get their story correct.
I could definitely write some historical fiction to fill in the blanks. That would make things a whole lot easier and quicker. Of course, that is not genealogy. I might someday attempt to write some historical fiction for that very reason. I could fill in all of the blanks!
Some stories do abound within my family history while other lines have produced a basic family tree with dates, locations, and people who happen to be my ancestors. Again, I search for my ancestors but also their stories. I can't wait to find more.
