I have been researching my genealogy since April 2002, but only joined FAG in March 2013.

Born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Grew up in Oxnard, California. Also lived in Bridgeport & Lawrenceville, Illinois. Currently live in Ventura, California.

My mother, Esther Mae Hopper can be found on page 637 in the book Van Hoose, Van Hooser, Van Huss Family in the United States by Joyce Lindstrom, as the daughter of Samuel & Ersie (Vanhooser) Hopper.

My father: Ruben Victor Lopez.

My son: Michael James Lopez.

Some direct lineage surnames that I research:

MATERNAL:
Hopper, Van Hooser (Vanhooser), Huckaby (Huckeby), Guess, Cowan, Ames, Dodds and Rowland.

PATERNAL:
López, Duarte, Corona.

I have included everyone from the above mentioned Van Hooser book into my family tree. I regularly research and add anyone who is DNA related to me, and those who married them.
