About Me
I began researching my own family tree at the
age of ten. My ancestors continue to astonish
me with their colorful lives, their resiliency, and
their sense of adventure. It's a pleasure for me
to share my passion for history and genealogy,
by helping others with their research, by
teaching research methodology through writing
and lectures, and by preserving historical stories
through my writing.
