Bio

I'm an advanced genealogical researcher and family historian, originally from the Delmarva Peninsula of MD, currently residing in Apollo Beach, FL. I have trees on ancestry.com Messick-Cralle Connections which includes Messick settlers in the Delmarva & Cralle family back to the 1600s. Also there is the Williamson-Hurley Family Tree. This group of Williamson's were from England and the Northeast. The Hurley's came over from Ireland in the 1800s, and includes the Kendrigan families and Shanahan families.

Most recently I have been actively involved in recording names of deceased for the Union Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery in Crisfield, MD. (Sometimes referred to as the Lawsonia Cemetery or the Colored Cemetery). This historical predominantly African -American cemetery had nearly all sunken or missing grave markers and was in a state of disrepair, undergoing restoration since 2018. Since 2021, I have been working closely with a descendant whose ancestors are buried there, assisting with the effort to document names of the deceased.
