About me





I am married to my best friend, Jason, I am a mom to 1 adult son named Hunter, 2 furry kids, and I'm also a Grammy to my wonderful granddaughter, Kasey.

Besides Genealogy I am a photographer, scrapbooker, cross stitcher, and all-around crafty person.

I am researching in Pennsylvania (Columbia, Montour, and Luzerne Counties); I am lucky enough to live in the same area where my ancestors lived. Some of my main surnames are Seigfreid (spelled many different ways), Thomas, Hunter, Masteller, Killian, Gensel, Halderman, Hartman, Kinley, and Savage.

Contact me if you have any additions or corrections or with any questions. My email is sthomas51004@gmail.com. I enjoy searching our roots and look forward to finding out as much as I can.
