What began as a fascination with the past has become a passion. After I finally got started, I couldn't get enough of the digging and searching.

When I first began, I intended to get all the information I could in the U.S. before starting any research in Norway and Sweden. After receiving information on some of my Norwegian ancestors (Thanks Rayanne) I started my research in Norway and Sweden. The research also continues in the U.S. and I'm sure it will for many years.

This home page will be under construction for some time. Please be patient. I believe that you have to know where you came from to figure out where you are going.
