Back".
Kathleen Veasey
I began my genealogy research in the mid-1970's. My oldest sister and I
lived and breathed family history! My sister was the city librarian
and, because I had time during the day, I would spend all day at the
library, reading microfilms. On the weekends, we would meet at my house
and see where our research was going. After 10 years, we had enough
information to print and publish our family history books.
Eventually, I learned how to search the web. I made many contacts
through the years and, along with continuing to gather family
information, I started maintaining a giant collection of descendants of
my third great grandfather's enslaved persons. More recently, I
expanded the research of enslaved persons to include all black families
in the county, starting with the 1870 census and following these lines
down to 1850. I look forward to sharing my journey with the members of
the TPCGS.
