Amateur genealogist working from the coastal Maine area (originally from central New York). I also use Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker (2014 version) in my research. I've been primarily researching my own family's roots. I'm a member of the Hess and Miesner families of NYC & Long Island (both families originated in Germany/Prussia), the Cottet family of Oswego Co., NY (originated from Grandvillars, France), and the Golley family of Oneida Co., NY (originated from Ireland). I very actively contribute edits to my own relatives' memorials when information is missing. I am more than happy to transfer management to any direct relatives within four generations of the individual in question.
