Born in the Midwest, grew up so far south that it wasn't really the "South" because there were too many snow birds there. I've lived all over the Eastern Seaboard and even spent a year and a half overseas. I've loved, I've lost, I've done enough to know what I like and what I don't.
Genealogy is a passion that I keep coming back to even when life drags me away for years at a time. I feel that knowing where we come from helps us to plan where we are going. I think that learning about the challenges our ancestors faced helps us to face ours.
At some point this "biography" will read a bit more as it should instead of reading like a social media profile but I'm still young enough to need to worry about what information particularly about others I put out there to the public. I promise I'll leave a real bio to a trusted person to edit this when I'm gone if I don't outlive everyone that I need to be concerned about posting on here about and get around to doing it myself.
I am looking forward to collaborating with folks on WikiTree to grow our world wide family tree and create an accurate, documented database for future generations to access when they go searching for their history.
I have several projects going on including a One Place Study for Burke County, N.C. since I have several brick walls there and a number of One Name Studies. Come join me in building great resources for future generations.

Can you please open up the privacy on the Burke County, North Carolina space page or add me to the trusted list?
Thanks, Azure Rae
I’ve not heard back from you regarding the US Southern Colonies Project so have gone ahead and removed you from the project for now. However, if you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here.
Many thanks,
Susie :-)
I sent you a message a week ago to let you know about the exciting changes in the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have no yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If so, which team(s) would you like to be on and please can you private message me with your e-mail address so I can get you added to the project’s Google Group?
If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’d be most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
Susie - US Southern Colonies Co-Leader
As you may have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, which team(s) you would like to be in.
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.
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.
Many thanks,
Susie, US Southern Colonies Project Co-Leader
We are sorry to lose you as a member of the Military and War Project, but we understand that life gets busy and interests shift. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin the project in the future if you wish.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Military and War Project, and we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.
If you wish to remain, please let us know how you have been contributing to the tasks and goals of the project or any of its sub-projects recently, it would be very helpful to the leaders.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things and remove you from the project. You will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you,
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.
First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.
Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in a general sense how you may have contributed to the main project or any sub-projects within the last couple months.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to their ancestors. If this is the case for you, please let us know.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
