Current Genealogy / Family History Work

I have a number of GEDCOMs on WorldConnect.Rootsweb.com where I upload my most recent work. My GEDCOMs include:

• My Own Line (predominantly German-originated, emigrating in the 1840s and 1860s to Buffalo and Cincinnati).
• My Husband's Line (a Heinz-57 conglomeration of almost everything BUT German)
• An evolving documentation of entire town genealogy -- Schwenningen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany

I maintain a Freepages web site at Rootsweb, with a variety of additional family history links and resources.

I have recently "gone professional" and now accept clients seeking help in the above areas. For more information, visit Bringing Your Ancestors to Life.

Colonial Ancestors

I am particularly interested in and have done a fair amount of documentation of my husband's colonial New England ancestors. This has resulted in some interesting and challenging projects:

• Category:Taylor_in_Massachusetts attempts to distinguish the earliest TAYLORs of Massachusetts, one of which is my husband's ancestor, Richard Taylor of Sudbury.

• Spiritual Wife-ism in Late Colonial Massachusetts summarizes a manuscript I've drafted about my husband's ancestress's forays into a "sexual revolution" during 1778.

• Jillaine's Transcriptions of certain colonial documents.
