Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
Here is my family tree.
I have been working on my family's genealogy since 1991. I am currently updating the Wikitree, as I have been too busy for some time to keep track. Feel free to contact me with questions or comments!
April 2022 update: We're finally (relatively) settled in the new house, so I'm back to working on the tree. Feel free to drop me a line if you need anything!
Good day, everyone. I have been researching my family since my paternal grandmother handed the genealogy down to me in 1991. Sure, there have been pauses for life events here and there. Some have been significant.
Genealogy is an obsession for me. I don't necessarily have any rhyme or reason behind it. I am simply trying to track down and prove every ancestor and relative that I can. I am also trying to decide which of my nieces or nephews should inherit it from me...
I have added several DNA tests - Family Tree DNA, Ancestry, 23 and Me. I am R1b - L1336 (R-FT226767) and H5a1c1a haplogroups for those interested.
I know that there are mistakes in my gedcom. I continue to iron those out, and I look forward to collaborating with the members here to help in ironing mine and others' mistakes out as well.
Anyway, it's good to meet everyone. Happy hunting!
