My Research Interests

Today, I’m having a rare half day of research. It’s quite a while since I’ve had more than a fleeting attempt at research. It just occurred to me that I should share my research interests here. You just never know who might be connected to one of my family lines.

I’m not researching every name on the following list right now. I tend to jump all over the place with my research, depending who has contacted my with information that I need to follow up. If I come by a piece of new information about a family line, I usually devote time to verifying it, updating my family files and often heading off on tangents. During 2025, I have planned the main focus of my research to be the Love/Webb line. There are many gaps there that I’d like to work on filling.
