Stacey North Cummings
ProGen Member Overview
I was a critical care nurse for many years and moved into Health Care IT in 1990. I became interested in genealogy in 2015 and got serious about it during the Covid outbreak. I'm retired now and enjoy writing about my ancestors. My favorite records are newspapers and old letters for the stories they tell and for their historical context.
After ProGen, what's next? Sorting and organizing family photos and letters dating back to the late 1800s. Then finding a repository for them. Work on a KDP about one of these families.
