and I eat, sleep, live and breathe SNODGRASS GENEALOGY ... and the internet, of course! I guess I am more obsessed with genealogy than any amateur ought to be, and I do seem to spend more time ONLINE than off, but what the heck - keeps me off the streets! :-)
Since 1993 I have been collecting every SNODGRASS I come across - I am one of over 200 members of
The Snodgrass Clan Society (We even have a Snodgrass genealogy journal, The MACE - ask me about it!)
I was born in Wetzel Co., WV, and raised as a gypsy Air Force brat. I have lived in AK, FL, Japan, NE, MT, WV, ME, LA. Then, I married an AF career man, and he took me to Germany, TX, Guam, and NM. Bob retired in 1989, we moved to Florida ... now I roam the country thru genealogy and the internet!
