Medical science PhD who turned my research skills towards genealogy and lineage research. I've been involved in online publishing for over 25 years.
I am a professional genealogist and I love writing the everyday stories of everyday people. The stories are there. If you need help finding them, check out my posts for ideas.
I'm the "ringleader" for Projectkin.org. As a community, we capture, preserve, and share our stories in every conceivable form. We inspire and encourage one another in posts, events, and conversations.
Retired Professional Photo Manager working on her own family legacy and stories, and helping others do the same through Kathy's Corner with @Projectkin, and @Kathy'sCoaching.
I've been researching family history since the early 1990's and incorporating DNA evidence since 2013. In 2024 I started a one-place study. My Substack publications mainly draw on material from my Archives on the weare.xyz platform
