I first became interested in genealogy through my mother - she often spoke of her grandmother and great-grandmother's families. I was particularly interested when I realized they each married a man with the same uncommon surname, Dygert. (Yes, all has been explained.)
One day my late husband (then fiancé) and I were in a computer store. He was taking forever at what he was looking at, so I was wandering around and came upon one of the early editions of Family Tree Maker. At first I thought, no, I don't really know enough to spend money on software. And besides, where will I find the time? Which is very funny to look back on, now! As I kept waiting for Dan, I kept going back to the FTM box, and finally decided to get it. The rest, as they say, is history!
In addition to genealogy, I love to read, especially mysteries and urban fantasy. Favorite TV shows are Dr. Who, Game of Thrones, Criminal Minds, and Walking Dead (although sometimes, while going "ewww!" during the last of those, I wonder why). And we have quite the little zoo, with horses, miniature donkeys, and llamas.
Tennessee
Project Coordinator for the Tennessee Project. Tennessee is home to several of my father's ancestral lines, and I'm so excited to be part of this project!
One Name Studies
Lambert Name Study
My special interest is in Lamberts who migrated from Tennessee to southern Illinois:
Lambert Families of Tennessee and Southern Illinois.
Bandy Name Study
I feel a special debt to the Bandy line, for helping me track down an ancestor I had thought to be untrackable -- Jane (Brown) Lambert (abt.1820-1851)
One Place Study
Landulph, Cornwall One Place Study
Home of some of my earliest known ancestors.
Military and War Project

My gg/grandfather fought in the 120th Illinois Infantry. He came home. His younger brother was also in the 120th, but died at the Siege of Vicksburg.
Company G, 120th Illinois Infantry. Creating profiles of the other soldiers in my gg/grandfather's company.
Disasters Project
Cherry, Illinois Mine Disaster, 1909. 259 men died because an untrained boy put a coal car full of hay under a kerosene torch.
Southern Pacific Locomotive 704 Boiler Explosion, 1912. San Antonio, Texas - at least 26 victims, probably more; some bodies were incinerated in the explosion.

I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in? Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!
Ian, England Project Leader
I often see your name researching/working on some of my family names: Burns, for instance today. I grew up in Southern Illinois, and most of my ancestors have been in that area for around 200 years. I moved to St. Louis area, but have been researching for about 5 years. My ultimate goal is to find connections back to Europe, but with many of my ancestors coming to IL in the early 1800's it is not easy to jump back across the Atlantic. Kelly

Thank you your request concerning the two merges for Samuel Lambert. Because of your efforts and the mention of Sam's father being Lambert (1276), my Lambert relatives will be able to trace their Lambert Ancestors from1854 to 1642 and maybe some day beyond. Keep up your great work! We will all toast your efforts at our next family reunion. Bob
