I began my genealogy research in the mid-1970’s. My oldest sister and I lived and breathed family history! My sister was the city librarian and, because I had time during the day, I would spend all day at the library, reading microfilms. On the weekends, we would meet at my house and see where our research was going. After 10 years, we had enough information to print and publish our family history books.
Eventually, I learned how to search the web. I made many contacts through the years and, along with continuing to gather family information, I started maintaining a giant collection of descendants of my third great grandfather’s enslaved persons. More recently, I expanded the research of enslaved persons to include all black families in the county, starting with the 1870 census and following these lines down to 1850. I look forward to sharing my journey with the members of the TPCGS.
