I am the sole researcher and owner of Your Lineage. My research focus is primarily on the southeastern and the upper southern regions of the United States.
My interest in genealogy sparked years ago when researching a notorious branch of my family. Research into my branch of this family proved difficult due to inaccurate information provided by multiple sources. I solved the puzzle by learning proper research methodology – the first of many. I have since traced my ancestry to 1613 Jamestown, Virginia, and have documented eight ancestors in my family tree that contributed to the American Revolution. As a result of my research, I have obtained membership in the Jamestowne Society and the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
I only say this to demonstrate what you might find with thorough genealogical research. I certainly wasn't one that grew up with the knowledge that my ancestral roots were so deeply embedded in our nation's history.
Genealogy is a passion and it is an honor to help others discover their lineage. What unknown ancestors do you have in your family that are waiting to be discovered?
