Biography
I was born in Charleston, South Carolina at the Naval Hospital. There were no delivery rooms or Doctors available so I was born in the hallway delivered by a Navy Corpsman. Within a month of my birth we were on a train headed to Mom and Dad's hometown of Kearney, Nebraska. A few years later Dad got a job in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We lived there for about 5 years until he got transferred to Brindisi, Italy. We moved back to Kearney while he went ahead of us in January. We followed during the summer. Three years later it was back to Nebraska while Dad got a house set up in Arlington, Virginia. We spent two years there and then all 7 of us piled in the car and drove across the country to Benson, Arizona. My parents actually remained there until every child graduated from high school. I married and moved to Phoenix, Arizona and had my first daughter. After divorcing I went back to Benson and attended a vocational school in Tucson. Upon graduation I joined the US Navy and was stationed in Kingsville, Texas. I got married there and had 2 sons. My husband was also in the Navy. Upon our discharges we moved to his hometown of Alton, Illinois. Unable to find a job we then moved to Kearney, Nebraska where we got help from my Uncle Eldon Berg. He gave my husband a job. A few years later he went to Oklahoma and got a job in the oil fields. We divorced and I moved to Fort Worth, Texas and married again. Still living there after 30 years. I was raised by Vance Russel Botts thinking he was my father my whole life. At the age of 63 because of DNA testing I found that he was not my father. My mother just told me my father's name and now I have a whole new family to get to know. Too late to get to know my father but I found 6 more siblings and lots of cousins.

You've been here for several weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.
You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
Dont hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy

Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.
WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!
We're really glad you're here!
