Bio

Never planning on marrying or having kids, I lived my life joyously lost in the moment until I fell in love, got married and started having babies.

After a few months of marriage my great aunt and both of my grandmothers passed away. It was at that point I realized that our family history was slipping away. However, I was then enmeshed in the role of mom to two babies and military wife. As the years went by, I watched my grandparents, great aunts and uncles pass away. For me the kids changed my life in ways unimaginable - our family history and future was something to be celebrated, discussed and pondered upon. In my world, our future can be found in our past.

Now my kids are teens and I am still at home as a mom, I find the time and energy to look into our family trees and have unearthed amazing things about our family. We have Settlers in the New World and Reverends to Out-Laws and sheriffs in the Old West; Chicken farmers in the 1960 to military men and women of Vietnam. Psychologists to felons - our tree takes crazy turns but through it all whether in documents on line or love letters discovered in a drawer, we have loved and loved deeply.

It is important to me that information is shared and distributed to those impacted or tangled in our tree. Please contact me with any questions or interactions with your family. Who knows? We may be cousins!
