    These are great goals! I enjoy genealogy too especially since I am drawn to things of the past like poets which remind me of ways and subjects I write in my own poetry. :) Oh and my family ancestry is from Italy on both sides.

I would ask her what her biological mother's name is, the reasoning behind why her brothers were placed in an orphanage, and why her ex-husband, Anthony Tony Armstead, was abusive toward her sons and possibly ...
