I'm from the beautiful state of Idaho and have been married to my husband for 40 years. He is from Minnesota. God is the center of our lives. We have lived in Washington since 1993.

After two years of thorough research, I have been verified and accepted into the General Mayflower Society! It was crazy and exhausting, yet a fun process to go through. I have learned a lot through this process!

We've travelled across the U.S. for the seventh time this summer (twice flying and renting a car, and the last five years driving the entire distance). As the Lord wills, we plan on many more trips to research and see places our ancestors had lived and now rest. We live in an amazing place!! One thing we have noted is that we live in a very small world! We love people and especially love meeting those who have worked with us during our many hours of research; as well as occasionally meeting up with one of our new-found family members!! If you are able, think about driving through our beautiful country and enjoy seeing how truly united we all really are...

I do not mind others using my photos, yet I would appreciate acknowledgement of it being taken by me, IF the photo is being submitted or used on other research sites. Thank you.
