The Lives of Mothers

What were the lives of our female ancestors like? By following the direct line of my mother's mother's mothers I'm trying to find out. What happened when they gave birth, got married, met someone they liked? How did they cook? What did they eat? What work did they do? I aim to find out.

About Me

After tracking down the family history of my grandmother, I became interested in the lives of all the mothers before her. I'm specializing in tracking back through the direct line of mothers, finding out what happened to them, and what their lives were like. This summer (July 2010) I'll be going to England to find out more.
