Sharron Lee Crutcher Gebhardt
ProGen Member Overview
Before I knew the word “genealogist”, my family members presented a wonderful puzzle trying to place them on the family tree. My curiosity led to American Revolutionary War patriots and Norwegian immigrants. Each of their stories is worthy of publication to “cousins” worldwide. As a perpetual genealogy student, honing my skills allows me to benefit generations to come.
