By the age of twelve I had lived over seas and had been around the world. I was interested in my family's history at a young enough age that my grandfather was still alive and clear minded. He had researched his family being an only child and that of his wife, my grandmother, who had passed away. I remember finding a box of photos under a bed while visiting 2nd cousins and wondering who these people were. My curiosity never waned. My grandfather turned over the research to me. My ancestors are from England, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maine, South Carolina, Toronto Canada, Illinois, New York, Michigan, California, Wisconsin and Northern Ireland. I consider myself our family historian. I'm one of five and I have five children. I feel knowing where you came from is important in knowing who you are. Family is important.
