Hello/Willkommen/Failte!
Possessing an inherent attraction to family lore, inspired by the thrill of the search...wish I could quit my "real" job to be a full-time, certified super sleuth!
Tho my skills have mostly been attained thru the learning curves of self education & taking pointers from the pros, I have received some formal training via the National Genealogical Society's "American Genealogy: A Basic Course" (Nov 2001-Oct 2003); and highly recommend this challenging independent study to learn the ropes.
While on this quest to preserve the legacy of my ancestors, I'm honored & privileged to be a member of two National lineage Societies:
*DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)- past Lima Chapter Regent & Vice Regent; Ohio Society DAR American Indians Committee, Chair.
*DUVCW (Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War)- Lizabeth Turner, Tent #23; Newsletter Editor/Publisher.
My heritage is predominantly German, Swiss, and Scots-Irish.
After several years of research, accumulating documents & memorabilia, this Blog is intended to be the short-version journal of my findings and tracking progress. Sharing with family (some of whom might finally understand & appreciate my "obsession" after all these years)...hopefully extending branches...and perhaps sprouting friendships with fellow "Genies!"
Please feel free to comment & ask questions. Looking forward to "Rapping" about one of my favorite hobbies.
Thanks for swinging by my family tree...hope you'll hang around! :)
