I cannot remember a time when I was not involved in family history. My mother and my paternal grandmother both spent a significant amount of time and energy researching their ancestry, and I grew up helping them. Both left records and files of their life's work with the responsibility to carry on.

I suppose I have been actively involved for myself since 2000, continuing where my mother left off when she passed. In 1992, my husband and I helped to publish (for extended-family use) my mother's research under her direction – a book entitled "Blalock Beginnings" covering my maternal lines and centering on the southwest part of Mississippi but including the Plemmons line which led to Tennessee and North Carolina. Parts of this publication are available online with more soon to follow.

This site has been very helpful in linking generations of my ancestors from the Southern States (where my mother was born and spent her youth) to family in the West (where she married and spent most of her life). More than a researcher, I see my role as a bridge builder providing access to the records collected of the past through the efforts of many, to those who will come after seeking for answers.
