Some of my ancestors moved to Chicago from Maryland, Ohio and Virginia; others immigrated to the Windy City directly from Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. This is why I frequently share resources in and around Chicago as well as transcriptions of Chicago obituaries and others news items.
My DNA is a mixed bag from France, Great Britain, Germany, Isle of Man, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, so you’ll occasionally find information about doing genealogy in those countries.
I began my family history research in the days of letter writing and microfilm reading. Today most researchers start on the Web, getting into the trenches only when the internet fails them. As I review stories and sources I’ve uncovered while preparing to write my family history books, I’ll share what I learn about my online and offline research.
When I’m not spending quality time with my ancestors, I enjoy biking, hiking, dining at new-to-me eateries, travel near and far, and most of all – hanging out with my husband, our families and our friends.
Think we’re related? My email address is “where 2 look 4 ancestors at gmail dot com”.
I look forward to hearing from you.
