Labels: This page includes a retrospective poem from my dad. It's like his life story in verse--using summertime as his metaphor. I was the editor this particular month.

About Me

I love people. I love family history and I like to write. My undergrad work in family sciences and my master's degree in sociology make my research and family history writing even more interesting to me.

Reading, writing and publishing family history is fun and satisfying to me. I'm convinced of the importance of knowing who we are by knowing where we came from. I started this site to share stories with others. It is amazing to me the miracles that God provides in all our lives.
