Hello, I am learning more about genealogy. After nearly ten years with this website, I still feel rather new to this pursuit. I love doing my own family history. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest much of my life, and have traveled some in the US Navy, and with the Oregon Air National Guard. Now retired after 32 years in service, I look forward to some more pleasant and self-directed travel in the near future.

Lines I am honored to search: patriarch Edward Richards, b. 1678 in England. patriarch Solomon Leonard, b. 1610 in Monmouthshire, England.

Also, I am grateful to my late cousin Rick Leonard for his encouragement and introduction to "Uncle Dan" Leonard, my 2nd great grandfather, b. 1830 in Washington Co. PA.
