Hello and Greetings from Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.! My name is Kathie Nerlien and I was told about this website through a member, Margaret Drummond. She is a sweetheart! I signed up for a year's membership on Saturday. I do hope in the future, some of you will be able to give me advice or help and I will do the same, if I can. Before I forget, the reason I have 2 sets of names is because I was adopted as an infant and I am using my original name as well as the name my adopted parents gave me. Sincerely, Kathie Nerlien

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! It really means a lot to me! Genealogy research is very addicting! LOL It has been extremely rewarding to search on my bloodlines rather than the adopted ones. I hope all is well for all of you and good luck to everyone in their research! Kathie
