I am a genealogist with a deep passion for uncovering and preserving family history, with a particular focus on Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania. My research has centered for many years on the Clutter family, who settled in the region around 1786, as well as their many allied lines.

Through both sides of my family I descend from the Clutter (originally Klötter) line, as my great-grandparents were third cousins. In addition to the Clutters, I actively research the families they married into: Ealy, Elliott, Bebout, Ankrom, Frye, Headley, Rutan, Wolfe, Armstrong, Wright, and Burnfield, among others.

My work is rooted in a lifelong commitment to piecing together the lives of my ancestors—where they lived, the communities they built, and the legacies they left behind. I use many tools in my research, including FindAGrave, but my greatest satisfaction comes from connecting scattered records, photographs, and stories into a fuller picture of the past.

To the people that say "Find a Grave is not the place for your family history narrative" I say hogwash. That's exactly what it's for! While I agree records or sources belong on ancestry, family search or wiki. FindAGrave memorials should include as much about the individual as possible while respecting the individual.
