Bio

I started working in a real estate office as a secretary in 1985 while still in high school. Later I went on to get my real estate license to sell homes.

When showing houses, I found myself looking at all the family pictures within a home, all the while wondering about their story. I'd stand in a room of a home built centuries ago, and think of all the things that could have happened there. It was true, if only the walls COULD talk.

Each home has a story, especially the homes that have held several families. Those stories have perhaps never been told, despite having in some cases having made a profound impact on the people who experienced them. It all started with finding an infant's grave in my own backyard. Why was he there alone? I searched for an answer, and in doing that learned so much about his family.

To me, those stories are important, even if just to a few. They are a part of our heritage, and I seek to tell them.

I will consider do research for those who are out of the area. I concentrate on Bucks, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania.
