I've been an amateur genealogist and historian since 1998, currently working on accreditation with ICAPGen. I reference original source materials (family bibles, wills, deeds, parish registers, old cemetery transcripts, etc.) to improve the accuracy of information on the families on Findagrave that I am familiar with. Always open to discussion and input. Some of my work has been affirmed by the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Society of the Ark and the Dove.

My work on the Edwards family was published in The Genealogist, Vol. 40, No. 1, Spring 2026, pgs. 85-95. Published by the American Society of Genealogists.
