I started working with my personal genealogical research in 1995. I was curious to know where my family came from and how I ended up here. My own directly known family had never performed any type of research and my family history knowledge was limited. All around me I would encounter people who had much more knowledge of their own roots and had family stories to share, but I did not have the same connections. I believed that someone should preserve the history of my family and I wanted to make connections with extended family members to hopefully find a sense of belonging in a deeper and more meaningful sense. 

 

Over the course of the years studying my own family, I have been fortunate enough to have met several people who have had firsthand account of family history, places, and people who would otherwise never have had their stories recorded. Additionally, I have made personal connections with other people researching their own families and have worked with them to solve some of my own family mysteries as well as helped them solve some mysteries which were not in my direct lines of ancestry. 

 

The research I have done helping others to unravel their own personal mysteries and find their connections to their roots has been so rewarding to me that I decided to pursue a more focused career in genealogical research. With the advent of DNA research and modern technology, information is at a level of access unprecedented to previous researchers and there are many discoveries to be made even in the realm of previously proven and well-researched connections. Now is the best time to make new discoveries in family research and revisit previous research to uncover new truths to deepen our understanding of our family history and ourselves.
