I love my family, friends, animals, travelling, gardening, and researching my family history. I am a native of Des Moines, Iowa but have lived for 35+ years in New Jersey. I believe revealing our ancestral past helps guide & define ourselves in the future. I have learned a great deal about myself through my genealogical research & DNA matching on ancestry.com & MyHeritage.com.
