I have many interests so I am creating this site to connect with others of similar interests! I will have tons of places and things to go and see. This site will probably be under construction for a long time. I have tons of stuff to sell and always more to see and do.
There is also the Genes page. Genealogy is never finished as we always find new Cousins or  Ancestors.

Genealogy:

I am interested in Genealogical Research. I will be putting my own information on one page, or more, as I add to my Family Tree. I have information on a few lines that attach to my own and am happy to share information. I love meeting "new" cousins all over the country as well. Someday I hope to be going to the British Isles to connect and do the Family Research I can not do here. As I am from ALL four countries I will be doing research on ALL of my Ancestors. I am in fact a British-Scotch-Irish-Welch American! Ain't that a mouthful? With a Smidgen of French and I just found out there may be some Swiss-German!

As of Saturday April 13, 2002 I have been a member of the D.A.R. Currently I have two proven men in the Revolutionary War to free us from King Georges taxation. Even found a signer of the original draft of the Declaration of Independence! (He had to be out of town when the final draft was signed.) Perhaps some others of importance if I can connect the dots!! History can be exciting when you find out "you were there!"

I am also a proud Grand-Daughter and Great-Grand-Daughter of the Civil War. I have the complete story of my Grandfathers Unit, the 46th Illinois Infantry, thanks to a cousin in Kentucky and the person who sent it in to one of the Civil War magazines to be republished. It was interesting to read about these men and to learn where they were and who their Commanders were. How they lived and fought to save our wonderful United States of America. One of my other cousins has her Great-Grandfathers letters from Vicksburg! What a treasure these letters are for the entire family!
I grew up measuring myself next to the rifle my Grandfather Nunn carried in that war. One day I was pleasantly surprised to find I was finally taller then the "rifle" was long! I stand 5'7" and the rifle comes to the middle of my forehead, which means it is 5'5" long. I also recently found out my Grandfather was 5'5" tall. How did this, and other young men, only 16 years of age handle these rifles that were as long as they were tall?

MovieTV:

    I lived in Hollywood so I had access to many movie and TV collectibles. I occasionally ran into a celebrity, by accident or design. I tried to attend, at least on the outside, as many events as I could. I got "in person" autographs and occasionally a decent picture of someone important.

Collectibles:

I collect everything collectable so I may have it here for you to add to your collection. I will be as reasonable as I can on price so enjoy your shopping spree.
