I'm one of the four Americans, please don't hold it against me. I have a passion for history and there is none better than your own family's history.

In 2003 I took a one year certification class at the University of Washington, "Family History and Genealogy" it was the best and yep I'm a certified "Genie."

My sister had already researched my mother's side of the family, which is Native American and Norwegian, so I am researching my father's side, which is Irish, English and Welsh, what a mix huh?

Through Ancestry I connected with a relative, Ian Watkins, in New South Wales and on his webpage he has a link to this one. This is the best website I've seen sofar, everyone is so helpful and I am grateful for that. Thanks.
