Bio

I developed my passion for genealogy when I was a child. Since then, I have interviewed numerous family members in an effort to preserve their unique story.

In addition to my interviews, I use a variety of sources for my research. These include Ancestry records, vital event indexes, newspaper archives, census documents, museum collections, and library and archives records to name a few.

I have contributed biographies to the book, "The History of Metropolitan Vancouver", by author Chuck Davis, and have written several historical biographies for Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, Canada.

The short biographies here, provide us with but a glimpse of who our family members were when they lived. Hopefully, they will provide the reader with the curiosity and inspiration to continue along the path of research, preservation and even discovery of the lives of our dearly departed loved ones.
