Karen has been doing genealogy research for over twenty years. She holds a Certificate in Genealogical Studies from the National Institute of Genealogical Studies affiliated with the University of Toronto and is a Life Member of New England Historic Genealogical Society. After all the years of researching, Karen felt is was time to put some of the information gathered into a form to share with others. This is the starting point. Meeting new "cousins" who have shared information, documents and photographs has been the biggest bonus!
