About Me

My interest in genealogy coincided with the advent of AOL’s flat-rate monthly service of $19.95 in the late 1990s.  My mother, from Long Island, New York, and my father, from the small town of Borger, Texas, were both interested in family history and asked me to look for their families on my new Internet. I was hooked when I found both families connected in Bienville Parish, Louisiana.

I live in Virginia with a wonderful husband who actually listens to many of my genealogy ramblings.  My two grown children spent a few of their childhood vacation days in cemeteries or libraries.  Genealogy, my favorite pastime, is significantly different from my professional career. I recently retired after 42 years as a speech-language pathologist.

My family history website at Rootsweb’s Freepages has over 75 pages of information and photographs. These pages were compiled between 2000 and 2011. Updated information about most of these families can be found on this blog. If you have questions, please contact me on my Facebook page or send an email.
