Hello, I am excited about this Project and look forward to becoming

involved and helping in any way I can.

I have been researching my family for about five years. I am one of 15

children and in 1992, I decided to put together a book of pictures and

family information for my mother's 89th birthday which was in 93. After

collecting all the data from my brothers & sisters and their children,

grandchildren, etc., I decided to include my grandparents and their

family and "the rest is history"... I was hooked.

Most of my family are early New England, migrating into NY state, then

on to PA where many of them still reside in the Bradford County area.

My husband and I, along with two daughters came to Tucson in 1970 and

fell in love with the desert and the wonderful winters, we won't mention

the summers! (but it has been a hot, miserable one).

I have several ancestors that fought in the Revolution, most Americans

but one Hessian and even found a British General killed at the Battle of

Saratoga. One known in the War of 1812 & some in the Civil War.

I have started putting up my family history on a website, it can be

found at

if you'd like to check the surnames and I have the family info entered

on some of them.

I am fascinated with genealogy, my only regret is not getting started

earlier, a lot of valuable information was lost as older relatives

passed away. Maybe this project will not only spark interest in the

children, but will rub off on other family members.

Thanks for listening.
