I have been an amateur genealogist since 1990. I have a B.A. degree in history and a J.D. degree, and practiced law for over 30 years. I'm a member of the D.A.R., and have served as Registrar of my Chapter, as well as on the National Lineage Research Committee. Now that I'm retired, I volunteer at two history museums and serve as my Town's Historian. I enjoy genealogical research, including visiting cemeteries and photographing gravestones. I've also been researching and hope to publish a book about a Revolutionary War hero.

The primary surnames I'm researching are Dailey/Daly, Murphy, Ryan, O'Donnel, Dowling, McCarthy, O'Mahoney, O'Donovan, Cahil, Woodrow, Crist, Akers and Norman.
