My name is Lori Callaway & I have a genealogy addiction. I started becoming interested in my ancestry back in the 1970's when my family started doing it for an upcoming reunion. I, like Tim Doyle, started asking questions of my family and kept on asking, and it eventually became the full blown addiction it is today. I started learning how to do genealogy research in 1979 and continue learn as I go.
I live in Washington State with my husband Scott & 3 children.
Currently I am searching all branches of my family histories:
- Peterson/Petersen/Pedersen of Egtved,Denmark & Hoptrup Denmark to Sabula Iowa
- Jansson aka Wilson of Kil,Örebro, Sweden to MO, KS, IA & IL
- Andersson of Örebro Sweden.
- Larsson of Örebro Sweden
- Stromberg's of Sweden to Rockford IL
- Whalen/Whelan of Michigan,Kingston-Toronto-ON-Canada and of course Ireland
- Honor, Michigan & UK
- O'Sullivan-MI, Canada & Ireland
- Shaw's of Bath,Somerset & Dorset Counties in England to IL & Iowa
My husband's lines:
- Callaway UK, Virginia, et all
- Norford UK-East Coast US and Southern US
- Short-UK-East Coast US and Southern US, especially North Carolina
- Hraban-Czech to WI
I do have other interests and hobbies, but none that I enjoy as much. For me, it has become a labor of love. I have learned so much about all of the ancestors I 'dig up'. In late November of 2005, I found some of my living relatives in Sweden, because of the family tree she had published on the internet. Without that tree on the web, I never would have found all the relatives in Sweden I now have the joy and pleasure of knowing and learning about. To make it even better, they had been searching for ME and my family, since 1883, when Per August Jansson & his wife and daughter left Sweden. The family in Sweden of this branch never knew what happened to them, until 2005!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my family branches, Whitney or otherwise, who knows, we may be cousins!
