I was born and raised in southern Indiana. After a 25 year career in PR and marketing at three universities, I now work remotely.
By the time I was old enough to become interested in genealogy, my parents and most of my parents siblings were dead. All I remember is that my daddy claimed his family was from Ireland and my mother's family was from Germany.
As I began my research, I wondered why my parents never talked about more details of their family histories. Doing this research for nine years now, I'm guessing that after WWII, my mother stopped talking about being German and for whatever reason, my daddy didn't disclose the Confederate side of our family. I even wonder if he didn't know very much himself. There was so much upheaval with moving and families torn apart between settling a new country and then engaging in two wars, documents were lost, lives lost early, memories fading, that his family may not have talked about their roots for many generations before him.
I wish they were alive so that I could share the rich and surprising history of their families. As a WWII Navy man, daddy would have loved to know that his ancestors were some of the earliest Europeans in Virginia and North Carolina and served in the Revolutionary War. This website has been a godsend for me and my research and a source of great pleasure/addiction.

Please can you also send me your e-mail address. I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders and are in the Google Group.
