I am from Ohio, an OSU graduate and former firefighter / paramedic. I have been a family historian, genealogist and preservationist for over 25 years. I've gone back 500 years where possible. My dad's side of the family started in England & Scotland, colonized Virginia in the 1600's, pioneered Illinois in the early 1800's and so forth. I am happy to help others and share my vast research with anyone with common family.
