As a child I grew up in a household which included my maternal grandparents and my great grandmother whose brother died in Andersonville Prison during the Civil War. I was immersed in genealogy from the beginning. My ancestors from several lines date back to the 18th century and include many participants in the American Revolution.

My primary research centers around the lines of Lepley, Rhoades, McCleery, Stainbrook, Walls, Sutton and Pittman. When visiting a cemetery in Western Pennsylvania with my husband William, it is very unusual not to find a relative. I'm looking forward to working with everyone
