About our family
I was born in Illinois, raised in IL, FL, RI & IN, (I was a Navy Brat). I have since lived in FL, IN & AZ. Finally, my husband of 24 years and I have settled in MI to be near his family. Most of my family is in southern Indiana... not too far for a weekend visit.
I love all kinds of music and I'm a voracious reader. I love history of all kinds, especially ancient history (Romans, Greeks, Celts, etc.) About 10 years ago found that my love of research and history could combine to help me "feel" my place in the universe. Researching my genealogy, I have discovered a very exciting and rewarding hobby that borders on obsession. ;)
What started as just bits and pieces of information, supported by two good sources for my "Kent" and "Rudyard" family history, has become quite a significant legacy for my grandchildren (two with one on the way!!)
Over ten years ago, my online research led me to Paul Hatcher, who had an overwhelming amount of information about my Garwood ancestors. (He even had me and my siblings listed in his tree!) My Garwood ancestors were Quakers from England who came to America in the late 1600's. They first settled in New Jersey, with some moving on to Virginia & Pennsylvania. My branch ended up in Ohio.
