Cheri, This is my second husband, we do not have kids together, although I am interested in his line, his mom had an extensive genealogy file which had been sitting in a box since she passed 2 years ago (going back to early 1500). When I became interested in genealogy in January, I took over her file. Basically just merged her tree with mine (Using FamilyTree software). My late husband died 20 years ago, when my youngest was 8 months old, his family I do not know very much about and next time I go visit my mother in law (we are still close) in mainland Portugal, I will try to get her DNA, she's 87 and still very sharp.
