Bio
I have lived in the Richmond VA area all my life. My interest in genealogy began decades ago when I paged, reverently, through my grandmother's family Bible. Between college and my first job (too long ago!), I spent many hours taking notes while talking with relatives. The internet has taken me many places where I have connected with and met many relatives and discovered numerous others. What fun I've had along the way---along with a few surprises!
Some family names I am researching:
Father: ROLLINS, WHITE, OVERTON, RUSSELL, BRAGG, SHACKLETON, BASS, CARTER, HUDSON, GORDON, OSBORNE.
Mother: FEENEY, COOPER, GERRATY, EVANS, WALLACE (Staker), WALSH, PETTERSON, BUCKNER, SCHWAB.
Some of my husband's family names: PETERSON, LOYST, RED(D)ICK, KUHN, ANDERSON (ANDREAS), JOHNSON (JORGENSON), GUNNESON, TOBIAS, DeVISSER, CLAREMONT/CLAIRMONT.
Most of my memorials are of family and friends. I have also indexed thousands of records for FamilySearch.org, and in so doing found many death records for which I created memorials---a great way to give back! And if I have one of your loved ones, let me know. Contrary to some, I believe family belongs together.
Many thanks to all who make this site so wonderful. And if we are related in any way, I'd love to hear from you!! I love making family connections.
PS: Life is short; be kinder than necessary. It feels good, too!
