Our Family Tree

Amber: Welcome to my family history blog! Today I want to share the story of how I found my roots.
Amber: Last month, I sat in my flat downtown and opened a family tree website on my laptop.
Amber: I searched for my grandfather who was a sailor in Portsmouth and my aunt who was a singer in London.
Amber: It was amazing to see all the old photos and documents which tell their stories.
Amber: I found the old town where they all came from and the house where they grew up.
Amber: Then, my husband Noah looked at the screen and laughed.
Amber: He saw the street where his own family lived one hundred years ago.
Amber: It was the exact same street where my grandparents lived!
Amber: We live in a crowded city now, but our families were neighbors a century ago.
