Bio
My work experience includes hospice and palliative care nursing. I have a doctorate in psychology and am an emeritus professor of nursing. I lived in East Asia for three years teaching for the U.S. Military during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. I taught nursing courses at the graduate level. My teaching specialties included death, dying and bereavement, community and global health. I am have been an NIH funded researcher with a focus on sleep disorders and sleep health promotion, particularly among women and minorities. I have also received AFOSR funding to study the effects of JP-8 jet fuel on neurobehavior in a rodent model.
I have done serious genealogical research since 1977 using pen, paper, stamps, dial telephone and road trips to Minnesota, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and the Dakotas. I have also traveled to England doing paternal genealogy, and to Germany and Poland for maternal genealogy. To become more adept and proficient with genealogy and genealogical research, I completed the Boston University genealogy course, online classes in writing genealogical proofs, and documentation and ethics in genealogy. I also completed a semester long course with our local Pima County Genealogical Society on genetic genealogy and attended a seminar on genetic genealogy with Blaine Bettinger, PhD, JD. I am a long time member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and have done genealogical research at the NEHGS on site.
My work on FindAGrave has not been as extensive as many others. I primarily maintain family gravesites and memorials. Should there be photos attached to any of my FindAGrave profiles, please feel free to use them. I do not need credit or a byline. I spend a great deal of time on WikiTree and Ancestry adding to my ancestors, and working on other's profiles that need some TLC. The benefit of these activities on Ancestry, and WikiTree in particular is to become more adept at adding valid sources to full biographies that provide details about ancestors lives, experiences and such. In turn, the biographies on WikiTree serve to enhance FindAGrave biographies.
I spend a great deal of time adding my ancestors to WikiTree, writing proper profiles, including any military experience, and add as many valid and reliable sources as possible. Within WikiTree, I am a member of the England, Germany and Italy Teams, Puritan Great Migration, Military and War, Notables and Presidents (of the U.S.). I oversee the Buckinghamshire (England) Team where my Baldwin ancestors originated, and the Baldwin One Name Study, which is also registered with the Guild of One Name Studies in London.
All of this background serves to improve and enhance the contributions that I make to the profiles of my and other persons ancestors on FindAGrave. I believe that viewers on FindAGrave deserve (and want) more than just name, birth and death dates and locations. To come across a profile that provides children's names can lead the reader to find out more about their line. To read about an ancestor who fought in the American Revolutionary War, or the American Civil War, or other wars can provide greater meaning to the family member. To discover that they have an ancestor who arrived during the Puritan Great Migration, or from Poland, Germany, Italy, Ireland in the 1800s can be exciting and provide an even greater sense of belonging and community. I may not be as prolific on FindAGrave as many others; however, the contributions that I make provide more indepth information from which others can use as links to discover their ancestors.
Other FindAGrave members might come across profiles that they maintain on which I added more family history/genealogy. When people are doing their family histories, I believe that FindAGrave can become one way in which families can add to their history, but we need to make sure the information is correct and properly sourced. I also add grave and family photos where and when I can.
My sincere thanks to all of the FindAGrave members who work so hard to maintain profiles and without compensation other than a job well done.
