I've been doing some sort of genealogy most of my life, but have actively searched for information on my own family since the early nineties, starting with a multitude of stories from close family members along with my grandmother's bible filled with births and deaths of various relations.

Most of my research has been done with the help of books and microfished vital statistics, census and news articles. I've only recently joined the ranks of online genealogy through sites like Find a Grave and Wikitree, but have been a frequenter of the old Gedforums for years and years.

The photos in my collections are mine, and considered copyrighted. If you use them on another public site, please list a citation using my username and member ID and which collection they're from. That way if someone sees them and wants to know more, they can contact me. Networking is the best kind of research!
