Hi, Carrie,
Formerly a teacher, now an avid (obsessed?) genealogist. Proud member and office holder for Crane's Ford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and current applicant in both the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames via my direct great grandfathers Jan Wynantz and Cornelis Melijn and the Descendants of the Founders of New Jersey via my direct great grandfathers Ogden, Hatfield, Woodruff, Clark, Ross, Potter and Baldwin.
In addition, I enjoy membership in the following genealogical organizations: National Genealogical Society, Pennsylvania Historical Society, New Jersey Historical Society, New England Historic Genealogical Society, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
And finally, as a family relative, it is my honor to serve as Grand Writer and Consultant for The Levi Cory House and The Deacon Andrew Hetfield House for the Mountainside Historical Restoration Committee, which I have recently been honored to be accepted as a member.
I do both paid and volunteer genealogical work and look forward to contributing to this community on WikiTree, now, as well. Thanks! ~Valeri J Shafer
