Over 40 years of research experience - yes, I can still work a microfilm reader and find my way around the courthouse.
Received my Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies (PLCGS) from the National Institute in 2013 - I hold certifications in American research and German research .
I have also attended GRIPitt, SLIG, Gen-Fed, and IGHR and enjoy learning something new with each lecture and class that I attend.
I am a retired Trauma Surgeon who kept herself sane by indulging in genealogy and lineage groups for over 40 years.
I am an expert in Lineage Group applications, having served as Registrar for multiple lineage societies - both filling out applications, as well as approving submitted applications.
Since retiring, I have become active as a genealogical speaker, sharing my love of genealogy with local, state, and national societies.
