Anscavating isn’t just about genealogy research or building a family tree. It’s about the journey. The friends that you meet, things that you learn and…the places you will go…  Oh, the places you will go…

“You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place. The Waiting Place…”  ― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You Will Go!

Anscavating is a multi-channel genealogy blog that focuses on helping individuals to do better ancestor research. Building a family tree with a solid foundation in genealogy standards, without wasting time or resources. Allowing you to focus your energy on the right sources and methods to help you acquire accurate information. 

“So… be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea, You’re off the Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So…get on your way!”  ― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You Will Go!
