A native of California, we've been living in the Valley of the Sun, Arizona, since 1990. I was bitten by the genealogy "bug" in 1999, when I inherited the research of my late uncle. I've been very lucky to connect with quite a few "cousins" who have helped break down some of our brick walls.

Families I'm researching are Gaudin (Godin) and Herdman on my father's side and Waples, Howard, and Shanahan on my mother's side. I've also started working on my husband's family, Mella and Fernandez.
