About Me

My interest in family history began over 30 years ago when my Aunt gave me an envelope of family papers. Through the years I have traveled throughout the U.S. and Europe visiting my ancestors' homelands and doing research.

Before I retired, I taught Continuing Education classes in Genealogy for Collin College from 2008 - 2022. I lecture on a wide variety of topics. My current list of presentations is on the Presentations page. I'd love to speak to your group, either virtually on in person. 

My genealogical education includes:
  • ProGen 49
  • Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research
  • Genealogical Institute of Pittsburgh
  • Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy
  • Genealogical Institute on Federal Records
  • Texas Institute of Genealogical Research
  • FGS, NGS, and NEHGS Conferences
I am President of Genealogy Friends of Plano (TX) Libraries, and volunteer for the Texas State Genealogical Society and the Dallas Genealogical Society. I belong to the DAR and national, state, and local genealogical and historical societies across the U.S.
