I have been doing genealogy for about 4 years. I have made some mistakes along the way and learned a lot, especially how to fix them! :) I am a teacher and love to collaborate with others. I recently have started doing "in person" research and have really started taking advantage of local resources. Like many of us, this has became a squirrel that currently has my full attention. I am a member of my local genealogy society and hope to collaborate locally and online as my next steps in growing as a genealogist.
I have researched my father's family through the Northern United States back to Ireland and Czechoslovakia. It includes surnames such as: O'Neill, Linn, Rakusan, Novak, Olmsted.
My mother's family is from Germany and the I have found most of them in the Southern United States. It includes surnames such as: Rier, Adams, Langendorfer, Callahan.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!
