Why I Do This!!
Denise (Barrett) Petersen has completed the England Project's Post 1700 Orphan Trail I.
Denise (Barrett) Petersen has Irish ancestors.
Denise (Barrett) Petersen has English ancestors.
Denise (Barrett) Petersen has roots in the region now known as Hessen, Germany.
My obsession with following my family and learning their history started over 40 years ago, as a project during training for my nursing license. "How does YOUR cultural background impact your health care decision-making?" Hmmm..ok. Guess I better find out the cultural background of my family!
One thing led to another...and another. People and history began to come into focus. Hardworking farmers; brave young men and women that picked up, left home and started a new life; they worked and fought for what was important to them; all of these people came together to this one point in time.
I do this for my parents who cheered me on, encouraging my exploration in history; I do this for my ancestors as their lives were important and should not be forgotten; I do this for the future as they should know where they came from.
Current Projects
Cemeteries are my thing! I have been documenting, transcribing and photographing them for almost as long as I've been tracing my family history.
I am currently working on:
St Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. I'm about 90% done photographing, so since the weather is poor, I'm currently creating the profiles and uploading the images.
Glendale Cemetery in Bloomfield, New Jersey.I am less than 2% done. This cemetery will be a challenge as there is over 50,000 burials. But I shall persevere!
I am also reviewing my family tree, updating information, looking for further information and adding it to the global family tree.
Only the Trusted List can access the following:
- Denise's formal name
- full middle name (D.)
- e-mail address
- exact birthdate
- birth location
- images (1)
- private siblings' names
- spouse's name and marriage information
