Experience

My interest in genealogy sparked years ago when researching a notorious branch of my family tree. Research into this branch of my family proved difficult due to inaccurate information provided by multiple sources. By learning proper genealogical research methodology, I solved the puzzle – the first of many. I have since documented  eight ancestors in my family tree that took part in the American Revolution and have traced my ancestry to 1613 Jamestown, Virginia.
