In case you missed it, my name is Tara and I LOVE researching my family tree. I LOVE finding lost family history and putting the pieces together to share with others.

As I build this website, here are some of the things you can expect.

  • I’m very grateful to family members that have been a part of this journey with me. I want to honor those individuals and share more about each of them.
  • My work keeps me very busy, so while I hope to get as many updates as I can pushed out quickly, life can often get in the way.
  • I LOVE traveling to my ancestral homelands, whether it’s home to Ohio, taking a ferry to Nantucket, or a fabulous jaunt to Ireland and England, there is something special about each location. I’ll be sharing more about my visits to place near and far as I trace my family tree.

My initial goals for this site are to highlight the SURNAMES of six of my great-grandparents.

Are we related? Where to find me.

  • My full family tree is on Ancestry and I’ve done an Ancestry DNA test.
  • I keep a portion of my research on WikiTree. You can also learn more about me on my WT profile.
  • I’ve uploaded my DNA to GEDMatch.
  • I’ve taken a DNA test at 23andMe.
  • I’ve taken a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test at FamilyTreeDNA.
  • My DNA has also been uploaded to MyHeritage.
