I have been doing genealogy for 17 years as of 2025. I live near Casa Grande, AZ.

My paternal ancestors are from Alabama and South Carolina going back to the 1600s. Many moved to Alabama when the frontier opened up in the early 1800s. My maternal ancestors are more recent immigrants from Scotland and Slovenia.

If you read this, I have to make a pitch for Wikitree.com. It is free and growing fast. It's a genealogy platform where we all share one world tree. Collaboration is terrific.
