Personal
I have enjoyed family history research since 1995. Part of my interest came because I am named after my two grandfathers, LeRay Sant Howell and Dean Albert Bullock. My fantastic husband and I have six wonderful children. (For as awesome as my dead family is, my live family tops them all!) I am a full-time homemaker. In my spare time (HA!) I enjoy needlework -- cross-stitch, needlepoint, crochet, and hardanger -- and playing piano. My dream vacation is to visit England, but we'll go there after hubby and I escape to Bora Bora. :)
