I am a genealogist who is passionate about identifying ancestors, learning their stories, and preserving them for future generations.  My interest in genealogy was sparked by my paternal grandfather who was an oral family historian.  Through my husband's family, I have developed an interest in African American genealogy.  

I am not taking clients.
