In a former life, I was a theatrical scenic and lighting designer and Technical Director for a professional theatre in the Washington, DC area. Upon the birth of my daughter, the technician retired and became "Mommy". Needing an outlet for the researching skills I honed when I was a designer, I became interested in the genealogical research my father had begun. I have two databases currently uploaded to www.rootsweb.com - "dadslegacy" and "popslegacy" that can be perused for information. As much as possible, I have endeavored to verify information posted here and in the databases through various sources: verbal family history, bible records, birth and death certificates, marriage records, cemetery books, and censuses.
