For over ten years, I have been actively pursuing past family members, primarily in my husband’s family, with homesteaders in Nebraska and Montana, Confederates in Georgia, Irish quarry workers in Rhode Island, Quakers, and many military veterans. My own family lived in Delaware, Maryland (Eastern shore, Baltimore, and farther west), Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. I completed the certificate program in Genealogical Research at Boston University in 2011 and have attended SLIG, IGHR, and the Applied Genealogy Institute. I am past president of the Boulder Genealogical Society and continue to volunteer with the society. I also volunteer with ICAPGenSM study groups for genealogists seeking accreditation and in the library at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden. I am accredited for research in the US North Central Region.
