For many years, I have followed the genealogy blogger Roberta Estes and learned from her diverse posts. Many of them have little to do with genealogy and more to do with LIFE in general. Roberta’s most recent, and insightful, blog post covered a multitude of topics, including relationships, holidays, estrangement, and the impact of covid on families over the past two years.

Casey shares with us her DNA surprise, a shocking realization about herself and her connection with family that unfolded over time.

Health is a focus of the resolutions for many people, and the family health history is an important tool.
