My interest in genealogy was sparked in the 1980s when finding my great-grandmother's memoirs. In those early years, I visited England and many states to find distant family members as well as graves, collecting a lot of primary data and photos.

Since retiring as a community college professor, I have stayed closer to home in Southern California working mostly online. I continue to seek more information on the histories of the Rosbrooks, Pettits, Coons, Ravenscrafts, Mullens, Donnovans, Johnsons, Harrolds, Knowltons, and ever expanding lines of my family.
