I've been doing family tree research for well over a decade. I've done family trees for friends, just for fun. I've answered questions, found lost family branches, and even helped a friend find his birth father. I've also researched the family trees of the people who owned my house, The Parsonage Inn, and learned a lot about their lives in my home. 

When I have free time, I love to do historical research, especially if someone has a need to know.
