Introduction

Sometimes when I'm in the sources, I stumble upon a person with an interesting story who leaps off the page. Most often, not even a relative, just a person whose relationships are recorded in an interesting way, or who was part of historical events, or something like that. I have learned a lot about looking for genealogical info in sources, and the personal value of this hobby, working on these profiles.

This page is a list of some of the profiles I have researched/improved upon finding one of these people.
