Bio
I've only been doing research for a couple of decades but my husband has been looking on and off since "Roots" was on tv. I've followed my mother's line back to a Mayflower passenger and my father's to William Shakespeare's grandfather. I've followed my mom's ancestors back to a minor royal and also the original Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam. In fact the area of Manhatten known as Flatbush today is where his farm was. I even found the document describing the purchase. You never know what you'll find in your family tree!
