Born in Michigan, grew up in Paris, Il. Relocated multiple times as an adult landing eventually in Western New York.

I have fiddled with genealogy of my parent's ancestry for about a decade but not with any serious intent. During the Pandemic of 2020, I became more engaged and attended many virtual classes. Now I am getting serious about it. I am recruiting DNA testers in our line and visiting the cemeteries to fill in the photo archive.
My focus is TAYLOR surname of my Father and SMITH surname of my Mother. Recently added search into Benjamin McConnell / MacConnell Loyalist to the British ancestor.
