Bio
My interest in genealogy and family history was sparked when a cousin started putting together the little we knew about the history of our family in this country not long after my grandmother passed away. My grandmother was the last of her generation so many of the stories and much of the knowledge about the "old country" was lost when she passed away. My cousin passed away a few years ago and I've been trying to piece things together utilizing Ancestry, Find A Grave, Family Search, and other sources available online. Thankfully, our local library has been a wonderful resource for my research since so much of our family has remained in the same area for several generations now. My primary families are COTTRELL, HALL, HANDICK, HOFF, HULL, IPPEN, MARTIN, & WILSON, but of course there are others as well with all the various collateral lines. The geographical primary area is west-central Indiana.
