Born and raised in Washington, DC where I continue to reside. I am an Intermediate genealogist of sorts, still attempting to locate my family. Very tedious.

Breast cancer survivor, divorced mother of three adults; grandmother to nine grands and three great grands. Retired educator turned Internet marketer.

My mother's family (Collins, Hooks, Parker) migrated from GA near Albany to NC, mostly Wilson County. I have not been that lucky to trace my dad's family (Powell)... they began for all intents and purposes, in Wilson County. His mother's family (Debnam, Richardson, Morgan, Strickland) seem to be from Johnston, Nash and Wake Counties.

Our family has a cemetery, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Cemetery, in Wendell, NC.
