About

Hello and Welcome to My Blog!

 I hope you’ll visit often. And tell your friends and relatives to stop by, too.

Who am I?

Native Pennsylvanians, my husband Keith and I have lived in the town of Boonville in the Adirondack foothills of Upstate New York for nearly 20 years. I’ve been a contributing writer and columnist for our weekly community newspaper, The Boonville Herald, since 1993.

Even as a youngster, I loved history. My interest in genealogy began when, as a child, I discovered the names of several ancestors in a local history book. Many years ago I began researching my roots. Finally, after thousands of hours of research and typing, I finished a family history book about my father’s ancestors and descendants, The George Druck Family Chronicle, 1741-2008,which was released the end of October 2008. Even non-genealogists will find the book appealing. You can learn more about this loving endeavor elsewhere on this blog.

Although “THE BOOK” is the main reason I created this blog, I also from time to time ramble on about what’s happening in my daily life, or offer my perspective on what’s happening in the world – just like every other blogger!  So visit often and leave your comments, please.  I’d love to hear from you.

(The comment won’t show up on the blog immediately, as it comes to my email for approval first – sort of how FaceBook works, if you’re familiar with that… But don’t let that stop you…I haven’t had any nasty comments yet!)
