Life-long Texan. My dad traveled the US for twenty years, researching his and my mom's family tree. I started the family tree on Ancestry, initially using his extensive notes and have been working on my Hill-Shields-Philips-McDonald tree for a few years now. I AM my father's daughter, having inherited his stubborn refusal to just accept any and all hints or suggestions. If I can't prove it, I don't claim it and I love a good challenge!
