I’m a native Texan whose paternal roots go back through Mississippi to South Carolina, and maternal through Kentucky to Virginia, both sides with deep Colonial roots. But all my lines seem to end up back in Scotland, England and Ireland....

Director

Newsletter Editor

    I have pursued the hobby of genealogy on and off for some 40 years and still have so much to learn. I love visiting courthouses and archives in my never-ending search for ancestors.
    I joined WHAGS in 2020, where I served for a year as webmaster and am currently beginning a stint as the second newsletter editor. I look forward to participating in this great hobby for years to come.

    When I married my husband, Vince, he was in the Air Force, and we moved a lot over the next 25 years.  After my husband retired from the AF we moved to Williamsburg, VA for his 2nd career.  We lived there for 20 years and had planned to retire there but we decided we would love to be close to our son and his family in Texas.  So, four years ago, we packed up and moved to Cypress, Texas.
