I have been doing genealogy for nearly 30 years and am an avid reader/researcher of American history from pre-Revolutionary War to 1900. I am particularly interested in the early migration routes of my various lines, how they fit into history, and the socio-economic conditions of the times. I've written three manuscripts on the Sirrine-Sarine-Surine surname in addition to newspaper and historical society articles. My primary lines are: SIRRINE, SARINE, SURINE; SHEARHART; TUSING, TUSSING, PORTNER; and SCOTT.
