I am a born-and-raised Idahoan, who lives in Boise with my husband, Rich, and my two dogs. My academic background includes:
– Certificate Genealogical, Paleaographic and Heraldic Studies, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow (current student).
– Master of Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion, K.U. Leuven, Belgium, 2008.
– Master of Religious Studies, K.U. Leuven, Belgium, 2007.
– Bachelor of Arts, University of Dayton, Ohio, 2005.

I regularly research families in the United States, Mexico, Germany, and across much of the rest of western Europe. I am continuing to hone my German and Spanish skills. I enjoy helping other with their research, and I am available for hire to help others with genealogy or to plan a heritage trip. My special interests include:
– Germans from Russia, especially the Black Sea region
– 19th century German immigration to the United States
– 19th century settlement of the U.S. Midwest
– Heritage travel
