  • My passion for genealogy began in 2013 when my high school age son became interested in the Civil War. The genealogy societies that were assisting my family research were the first to urge me to share what I'd begun applying. Thus began my vision to give back to the genealogy communities and create interesting, engaging genealogy programs.

    My professional experience speaking for the Zig Ziglar Corporation, women's church retreats and marriage seminars along with my enthusiasm for genealogy inspired me to begin preparing genealogy programs of my own.
