I have been privileged to inherit the family history since about 1970 when my parents and grandparents started telling stories and telling me I need to be sure and write this all down Connie, write this down. HA You think that I could have gotten around to all that but started genealogy charting and research instead.

I love our family history and am very proud of our heritage and since the introduction of DNA, I love working in forensic genealogy! I have been very passionate in this and have helped so many learn their true heritage with the help of DNA.

Although I have to say, many of those stories have proven out through my research over the years. Oh how I wish my parents and grandparents were here to see what I have learned!! I have also done my families as well as my own DNA and am studying the fascinating field of genetic genealogy!

Special dedications to the ones I miss so dearly.

I shall see you all someday very soon and when that day is here, I hope you all come visit me here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/276247846/constance_denice_jacques and someone please update this in my absence?

If you are interested in managing a memorial I manage, just ask, all that's important is that you are better able to add to the memorial than I am. You don't have to be directly related, just willing and able to make the page better. I will gladly make transfers to family members with the exceptions of my family. Please use the edit button and Suggestion a correction. It will leave a link to the memorial you are asking for a correction or transfer of. I will not make transfers any other way.

There is no need to ask permission to use the photos that I post unless for commercial purposes. All that I ask is that you source and credit them properly.

At my passing, I shall pass this account on to my beautiful compassionate daughter who I hope continues on with my work in both areas. In the meantime, I shall continue to work on sharing our history with the grandkids and great grandkids, hoping to instill the same passion in them that I have had in this project for over 55 years now. Love you all to pieces!
