Born in Ithaca, NY; grew up in Atlanta, and lived for some time in Auburn, AL and Edmonton, Alberta. Currently living in Athens, GA.

I became interested in family history, mine and anyone else's, as a kid, when I was reminded every Thanksgiving that I'm a direct descendant of a Mayflower passenger. Being conscious of this connection between me and these people from way back then who we learned about in school gave me an appreciation that we've all come from someone, we all are part of a story, and everyone's story is worth hearing and remembering.

I've just gotten serious about genealogy in the last few months. The families I'm most interested in are these:

Howland--Mass, NY, NC
McEwewn--Oneida, NY
Adams--Madison and Elbert counties in GA and Albermarle, Goochland, and Campbell counties, VA
Smith--Walker county GA and Rockingham & Guilford counties, NC
Buckley--Fairfax & Culpeper counties, VA
Detwiler/Detweiler--Montgomery county PA and Fairfax county VA
Hitt--Fauquier, Culpeper, & Madison counties, VA
Thornhill--Madison & Culpeper counties, VA

As time & resources permit, I'm happy to try to address photo requests in within a couple hundred miles of Athens, GA.
