I identify as a New England gal through and through, even though I pioneered to California many sunsets ago.

I grew up with beautiful East Rock right outside my window at 239 Everit Street in New Haven CT and miss it everyday.

The past is where my heart is and I discovered the infinite joys of family research and history when I was very young. A trained medieval historian and art historian, I planted my roots deep in scholarly research also and methodology at NYU and Columbia University.

I believe in the adage that harkens to find truth in everything. Needless to say, my ancestral background has had a profound influence on me.

Surnames researching - Ogden, Augur, Battersby, Phelps, White, Vicknair, Boldt
