I have been researching my genealogy ever since I was 12 years old when I found the family trees that my mother and my aunt created in the 1930s with the help of their paternal grandmother. So, a lot of starts, stops, and reverses have been experienced. As of 2025, I have started treating the research I am doing as separate projects which are given specific(ish) amounts of time each month. These projects include:
- Researching to “matches” Ancestry reported in their Thru Lines application trying to tie the persons to my database entries.
- Research into my Stephens / FitzStephens Family line dating back to the Norman Invasion of England.
- Trying to complete the gathering of documentation for supplemental entries for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution
- Trying to assemble the documentation for supplemental entries for my Mayflower Descendants membership
- Trying to find Almira Botsford Jenks burial site.
Great site! How fun to have such a collection. Looking forward to your upcoming posts!

hi. I randomly typed in my grandmother’s name on my dad’s side….ethel Emma Chidester Koontz. (Dad…James Henry Koontz) surprised to find this whole site!
several names we’re familiar from memories of family reunions we went to when I was a child so I am fairly sure this gathering of stories is about the lives of my dads family. I plan to read more over the next few days. Dad was never very talkative so much of this will be new to me. Thank you for this lovely surprise. Betsy Koontz Lute
