About

Hi, I’m Kelly and I’ve been researching my family history for over 20 years. I have spent countless hours rummaging around musty libraries, going through reels upon reels of microfiche in state archives, stomping around in cemeteries and even digging through boxes of those “old timey pictures” at antique stores (ok…haven’t we all?). So, you’re probably wondering about the calico and what it has to do with genealogy. It doesn’t, really. My cousin used to call me KellyCoCat when I was younger….it’s more a play on words. I liked the picture of the calico fabric at the time of creating this website…haven’t really found a great calico cat photo I could use yet. But I’m looking!

About Me

Hello! My name is Kelly and I’ve been stomping through the graveyards of my family’s history for a little over 20 years now. Along the way I have managed to dig up some juicy bits (to me anyway) of family lore and even a few treasures. I also love rummaging around antique stores rescuing photographs and doing a little write up on the people pictured if I’m lucky to find one with names.
