I am an ardent genealogy enthusiast. Past President of the Bend Genealogical Society, Bend, OR. Present librarian and speaker for the society. Retired educator and realtor. Hobbies other than genealogy are gardening and golf. Mostly golf in the summer of course! Have authored one book entitled "The Life of Amos Safford Warner". Family surnames include GRINDLE, WARNER, BROWER, BARLOW, BRANDON, MACKAY, SILSBY, SAFFORD, WOODARD. Presently I am the group administrator for the GRINDLE SURNAME PROJECT at FTDNA with the hope of solving a major brick wall in that family line. I have been seriously researching for the last 18 years and am happy to share information with fellow genealogists.
