I am a mother of 5 girls, stepmother of 2 other girls, grandmother of 11..soon to be 12 grandchildren. I grew up in Kansas...living in Wichita, Topeka, and Hutchinson areas over the years. I started my interest in my family history when I was about 10yrs old, a great aunt sparked my interest, in the 60's, and then in the 90's I began my genealogy research, starting with the bits and pieces she told me. It has become my passion, learning about families and their heritage.
