Does your ancestor have the letter "D" or "X" next to their name? Do you know what V/L, # 404, USB, Transit, CL, N.O.B, C/A, LPC, SI, NQIV, BSI, PV or C-XXXXX mean?

In addition to WAGS, I’m also a member of the Tualatin Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames and the Association of Professional Genealogists.\n\nMy interest in genealogy began in 1977 with the airing of the TV mini-series “Roots”. My enthusiasm was piqued when I was given a typed pedigree chart, commissioned by my maternal grandfather, of our Dutch heritage from the New Netherlands in the 1650’s. I am a native Californian, a graduate of UCLA in Political Science and have recently retired to pursue my genealogy interest full time.\n\n \n\Location:\nZoom\n\n,
