Genealogy and everything it encompasses is my life's passion. I started my own adventure into my family's genealogy when I was 18 years old in 2008. It all started when I wanted to know my maternal grandmother's maiden name, and it has exploded into, not only a strong family tree, but a vast forestscape of knowledge I've accumulated.
I grew up in Fordyce, Arkansas, which is the area where almost all of my maternal side of my family originated spanning back to the Civil War. Those areas include the Dallas, Cleveland, Calhoun, and Bradley Counties of Arkansas. My paternal side hails from the Union and Ouachita Counties of Arkansas.
I love to travel to my ancestors cemeteries, taking photos of tombstones, gathering histories of the cemeteries, and of course paying respects to the lives they led. I have frequented several courthouses, libraries, funeral homes, and MANY visits to the state archives to piece together major milestones of their lives, and further put into focus the mosaic of my family spanning generations.
Findagrave.com, genealogybank.com, and Ancestry are my top sites of choice. I think the combination of all three helps dig out the truth within my findings.
I adore how family research is ever-expanding and virtually never-ending. It truly is an adrenaline rush to dive deep into the lives past that ultimately led to us today.
I've conducted countless hours of interviews with handfuls of family members over the years, some of which were a few of my great grandparents before they passed away. The wealth of stories each have entrusted in me are absolutely priceless.
If my efforts bring forth anything, my one wish is to keep all of my family's memories alive just a little bit longer. I wear the badge of my family's story keeper with honor.

I am always happy to lend my skills and passion to help anyone who wants to start their own journey into exploring their family's history.
Like I've mentioned, it's truly my life's passion and calling.
