I was born and raised in the Kansas City area. I remember as a child sitting and listening to family stories. I lost many of my story sources before I got the genealogy and family history bug. I currently am trying to get as much family information as I can so I can share this amazing and rich heritage that has made me who I am today with my family. I'm learning a whole new love and respect for those ancestors who went through so much to make things better for their children and down the line.

Family names I'm working on: McKinney, Garten, Lawson, Rippeto, Taylor, Wilson, Hunick, Bush, Sharp, Mayberry and even more!
