I am a native of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, lived and worked in Chicago for almost 17 years, and am now a resident of Colorado. I am an academic librarian by profession. I credit my late father, a wonderful middle school social studies teacher, for instilling in me a strong love of history and genealogy.

My journey to this incredible site came from working with prospective members of the Daughters of the American Revolution who need proof of lineage to complete their applications. I contribute to Find a Grave as time permits and look forward to doing much more after I retire.
