i am of strong Christian Faith,a Mother of five children,(one of them in Heaven, as of October,2013),and a Capuchin Primate ..that I adopted in 1971, who passed away in September,2017. I am a Retired,Real Estate Broker and have enjoyed many hobbies,thru the years,but my two passions have been writing Christian Poetry,which I consider a gift. The other,Genealogy,which is a labor of Love,to be passed down to future Generations!

I just love discovering new Kin and Distant Ancestors! I had an Autosomal,DNA Family Finder test,3 years ago with Family Tree DNA and last year..another Dna with Ancestry and I have connected with so many….. (Gatch,Beach,

Carter,Blocker,Fincher,Cross,Meers,Barnett,Wade,Farrar, Winn/Wynn,

Rolfe,Wilson -etc.) …..Cousins.. that I never knew existed and some I've known all my Life..but lost contact with!

I am far from perfect,so please notify me,if mistakes are found or any new information!

Thanks,

Mary...(Daughter of John Leroy Gatch and Mary Catherine Fincher Gatch,Gann)
