I was born in Idaho in 1961. I have one full sister, two half-sisters on my father's side and two half sisters on my mother's side. I have a G-Grandfather that married, had many children, was widowed, and then married his wife's sister and had several more children. I also have a G-Uncle that was a closet bigamist with a family on each coast. I don't have a family tree, I have a small forest. Genealogy research has been challenging, sometimes frustrating, but fun. I consider it a hobby that I hope will educate and entertain my children and their children.
