I grew up surrounded by genealogists and family history enthusiasts ---my parents, my aunts, my great aunts, my neighbors. Visiting four cemeteries every Memorial Day with my cousins was part of our life. After graduating from college fifty years ago, I made my first trip to the Burley Family History Center. I love to gather bits and pieces of information about people and put them together in a written history. When I hear an unknown name, I am driven to find out who they were, where they came from and what they did and write their story. I served as the ward family history consultant and the Declo Idaho Stake Family History Director. My current project is the Mini-Cassia Heritage Hub, trying to collect and make available the stories of the people who influenced the settling of our area. http://www.minicassiaheritagehub.com/
