Native Western North Carolinian and proud of those roots. My maternal and paternal families were early settlers. My Father was a walking encyclopedia of names and stories. He used many archaic words that I have recorded, so they are not lost to time. How enriching his knowledge is to me now. Thank you Dad.
My family has the strongest roots in Scotland, England, Ireland and Native American; all proven in genetic testing. I am fiercely proud of my heritage from all ancestors. They are the reason I am here.

DO NOT POST DEATH CERTIFICATES on the memorials of my family. Even if my death is caused by a stubbed toe, if someone adds a death certificate to my memorial; I WILL haunt you with the fervor of the ghosts in Edinburgh Castle.

If I have added a photo, obit or other information that you wish removed, kindly let me know and I will be happy to remove it.

**A sincere appreciation to those who spend tireless hours taking photos of headstones and to those properly linking family members one to the other.**

I am proud of the military service in my family from the Revolutionary War to the present.

And many a message from the skies,
That something in us never dies."
