Digging
It
Marilyn Ulbricht
Marilyn Ulbricht has two degrees - one in Anthropology with a sub specialty of Archeology and the other in History. Both fields are my passion and ultimately resulted into the natural progression of Genealogy when I retired. I have been doing Genealogical research for about 7 years now. These disciplines have been "doorways" to my brick walls! I have maintained a continued interest in archeology and especially historical archeology. I still participate in various archaeological surveys or excavations when I can. I actively worked as an archaeologist for several years but when the economy took a turn for the worse in the 1980's, for my family's benefit had to have a "real job" and worked as a revenue officer for Internal Revenue Service for 21 years. However, I found that even in this endeavor, I could use my background skills to find resources to search for people not wanting to be found, asset traces, analyze lifestyles, etc. which is really the same kinds of research we apply today when looking for our ancestors.
"Digging It" is my way to help others think outside the box, to find resources and develop the knowledge to use the clues given by the disciplines of Archeology and History to find more about our ancestors rather than just the straight facts and dates - it helps makes them a human beings we can identify with and really understand. It really brings them alive!!
