I was born and raised in Indiana, my family has been in this area for well over 160 yrs. After living in Arizona for the last 30 yrs I have returned home, they say that's where the heart is and I must agree. After spending many years as a long haul truck driver it's good to be back. For the past 15 years I have been researching my family lines in hopes of preserving as much information as possible for our future generations. After the lose of my grandparents I began to realize just how much of who and where we come from is lost forever with the passing of the older generation. I enjoy traveling, camping, fishing and hunting, but family research has become my real passion.
