iFamily History: Connect with relatives through Wattpad

I decided to put my husband's South African family history book I am writing on Wattpad. I thought that others might like to read it. Also, anyone can add comments about what they like and don't like, their thoughts and help with editing and spelling mistakes.

I received a message on Facebook last week from someone in South Africa who saw my book on Wattpad. She is related to my husband. A 10th or 13th cousin or so but still very exciting.

She apologized for stalking me on Facebook but she wanted to ask me a few questions about genealogy because she saw our lines crossed. It was great to connect! So excited to see how we can help each other.

Wattpad's tag line is "the best place to read and share stories."

Genealogy

I am on the board and CFO of mitoYDNA.org and currently President of Alberta Genealogical Society.

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.
