I spent a very long, solid amount of time working on my own personal family tree, a daily process for nearly three years while I was Ill and unable to really do much - so I'd spend as much time as I could perfecting and researching my ancestors and relatives. So much so that getting my DNA test back didn't really give me any new surprises - nothing new to learn. Researching that much led me to the conclusion I needed to try to contribute to the town I grew up in - Researching my ancestors from Erin the first year was the hardest thing I had ever done. So, to the population of Erin, and the surrounding area:

I am researching and planning to write biographical historical books, genealogy based but also to give local stories and history untold. I want to provide our families and future descendants access to history that I know has already been forgotten - because I am not letting  them, or us, be forgotten and lost to history.
