Bio

I am currently an active field researcher for The Sequoyah County Historical Society here in Oklahoma. I have been an active field researcher doing genealogical research since 1986, and have posted help on several websites over the years including CherokeeBlood, Genealogy.com, Ancestry.com, USGenweb, among others and listed as a researcher for several County links in different states. I do volunteer lookups in these areas, and have been happy to photograph and canvass cemeteries when I'm in that area. I usually do not need to be, and often not credited, since I'm already there and happy to contribute to the preservation. I do post in cases of preservation or relationship, thus not a "mega contributor" to Find A Grave. I am working on several historical and lost cemeteries and family plots here in the OK and ARK areas presently, that we are losing at a rapid rate. Many are either Native American or African American cemeteries, often lost to past climate or civilization, or vandalized. I utilize detailed historical materials to substantiate my findings and field work, and often interview seniors for this purpose before posting my materials. I am happy to surrender memorials to family members and descendents, as requested.
