My Family Ancestry Research & Discoveries

This website is a "work-in-progress" and is meant to serve as a roadmap for current and future generations to help them in their own journey as they discover our shared family history. As new discoveries are found, and once I have fully verified the connection, I will continue to add to this site or, if an error has been discovered, sometimes remove a page from the site.

The reason that I wanted to document the many interesting figures with whom I share DNA is not to brag about being related to these fascinating people, but to help those who dream of being something more than they have been told that they could - or should be.  Having this knowledge when I was younger would have been invaluable to me, and hopefully it will help others believe in themselves and to follow their dreams, no matter how outrageous others may think that those dreams are. The people and their stories that are contained on the following pages prove that achieving what others may think is unachievable; it's built into our DNA!

If anyone finds errors on this site, or if you have questions that I may be able to answer for you, please feel free to reach out and I will do my best to respond to you quickly. I am always happy to answer questions about anyone you may find on this site, and I'll do my best to help in any way that I can. The one thing that I can't do though is provide you with contact information or other personal information about any living people listed here - I may be distantly related to them, but that doesn't mean that I know them personally.

When I started this journey, I never would have guessed that I would still be finding new, interesting and amazing family over 20 years later...but that's the great thing about genealogy...it's a never ending journey.
