About Our Journey
Our Beginning
Sitting in the main branch of the Columbus Public Library one January evening in 1992, I ran across a book that contained rosters of Ohio soldiers in the Spanish American War. Remembering my Father telling me that his Father had served in that war, I was intrigued enough to search for him in the pages. Finding his name, I called my Father to see if this information really was for my Grandfather. He said it was and went on to challenge me to do a family tree. Curiosity got the best of me and here we sit!!
Time flies!
After thousands of research hours and documents, hundreds of repositories, courthouses, and cemeteries, and my fair share of mistakes, I have reached a level of competency that I strive to maintain and constantly work to improve.
As I began to recognize the value of consistent and thorough research, I decided to share my knowledge, lessons learned and the results of my mistakes with others. This ultimately lead to the development of Old Northwest Genealogy.
Clear and accurate research
Having been a student and researcher of Genealogy now for over a quarter century, I have a unique understanding and appreciation for family history and how to present it.Your family's story deserves to be told in a clear, concise and factual manner. As a Professional Genealogist, I am bound by a code of ethics that dictates the promotion of a coherent, truthful approach to genealogy, family, history, and local history.
