I am a new Curator. I have been working on my family tree for almost 2 years, filling in the blanks and expanding the branches of the tree started by my first cousin.
I am most interested in the migration from Virginia to the Appalachian areas -- North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky -- the path my own ancestors took.
My second area of interest is Quaker history. I didn't know much about Quakers until I found out my ancestors were Quakers who came to America to escape persecution.
My third area of interest is Gold Rush era of California, in which my husband's mother's family played a role. Since I live in Northern California, I foresee many future field trips to explore this part of the family history.
I am self-employed as a financial planner. I am married, have one grown daughter and three grandchildren. I knit lace as a break from being on the computer.
Unfortunately I can only read and write English but Google translator is a great help.
Happy ancestor hunting!
Maria
