I have been researching my family lines since the mid 90's. My dad's family line is Turner, Moore, Tribble and Boyd. My Mom's family line is Estill, Phelps and Kennedy.

I am a member of the "Coming To The Table" group; they provides leadership, resources and a supportive environment for all who wish to acknowledge and heal wounds from racism that is rooted in the United States’ history of slavery. Also a member/storyteller of the "BitterSweet", Linked Through Slavery group; is a working group of bloggers who are members of the non-profit group Coming to the Table (CTTT). We call ourselves “linked descendants,” people who have a joint history in slavery–a pairing of a descendant of an enslaved person with a descendant of his or her slaveholder, who have found each other and who are in communication.

I enjoy searching my family history, using Ancestry.com and familysearch.org. I have traveled to D.C., twice to do research through the National Archives. On my last trip to D.C., I visited the African American Civil War Museum and received a "Certificate of Honor" for my Great Grandfather Jeremiah Turner (1840-1917) I also visited the (U.S.C.T.)United States Colored Troops Monument and took pictures of my great grandfather's name listed with the 12th Regiment, Heavy Artillery.
