About Me

I was born in Brooklyn at Unity Hospital. Moved to Bay Shore, Long Island at age 13. Graduated Bay Shore High School. Went to Pilgrim State School of Nursing. Married twice. Moved to Corsicana, TX in Feb. of 1989. Have two children and three grandsons. I am disabled but, still breed Yorkshire Terriers. I love reading, writing, photography, Paint Shop Pro and genealogy. I am researching the names: Van Houten - Lawler - Ryan - Frey - Froehlich - Merck - Blauvelt - Bogart - Sparks - Gould - Tallman - and many other Dutch, French, Irish, German and English names. My Van Houtens are from the NY and NJ areas and have found connections in Canada and Texas. The Sparks family are from Texas. The rest of my names are from NY and NJ. I am disabled, so most of my research is done online or with the huge help of others.
