Genealogy

Began researching my family tree in 2006. Through experience and resourcefulness I have not only learned about my ancestry but, have also become familiar with the techniques needed for a successful start at building an accurate and respectable family tree. During my ancestry research, I began understanding the importance of citing sources, identifying trustworthy sources, and how to avoid spending too much money. It is hard for me to avoid making connections genealogy has with many other subjects, many of which I never found as interesting in school, as I do now.

Kansas

Born in the Air Capital of the World, Wichita Sedgwick County, Kansas almost 32 years ago, I have lived most of my life in Topeka Shawnee County, Kansas. With the gasoline *ss and lead foot, I have had te pleasure and opportunities to travel to many of the 105 counties in Kansas. I have traveled with an ex-boyfriend for years for his employment with a construction company, I have traveled for desire, family, need, and was employed as a field employee during the 2010 census. Most of the knowledge of Kansas outside of it's capital city, Topeka, has came from my work with the census. This experience encouraged an interest in learning more of my home state and why I elected to complete the Kansas Geography offered at Washburn University last year; and provided many scholarly resources.
