Biography

I currently live in Shelton, Ct. I'm interested in becoming a member of DAR. I started researching my family tree in 2006 when my grandmother left behind a suitcase full of family history, photographs and newspaper clippings. Researching family history is definitely addicting and challenging and the information I find is what drives me to continue.
