I am a semi-retired attorney, genealogy geek, wife and mother of two, living in a suburb of Pitsburgh, PA. I love to do genealogical research for myself and others. I am an Obituary Daily Times contributor, and also volunteer via the Books We Own website. I monitor several Rootsweb forums for counties in northern West Virginia, my mother's birthplace.

I love the research aspect of finding and connecting family members. I have a lot of experience with research as a result of my profession. Because I am used to "crossing all the Is T's and dotting all the I's" I try to prevent and correct mistakes. I post as much verified information as I can find, no matter how remote the connection (if any) as a service to others. I know a lot of people don't have the access that I do. When I started researching my mother's family online in the early days of the internet, a total stranger gave me a LOT of information and helped me find information I might never have had. So my research is a way of paying it forwrd.

I try to be very accurate in the information I post, but if I have posted anything erroneous, please let me know. If I have created a Memorial for a member of your family and you would like to have it transferred, please use the Edit tab to let me know. Thanks!
