Hello, everyone! My name is Leesa, and I am aiming to become a genealogist. I mean, I already am, but since I am only 16, I haven't gotten into college yet, but when I do, I am going to major in history. From an early age, I have been very fascinated with Social studies in school, and my mother, grandmother, and aunt are genealolgists. My mom has even published a book about her family! It is Shumate Branches and Twigs (published in 2000). When I get out of college I want to be a historian, and maybe even a social studies or a world history teacher. I haven't decided. Some of my favorite families and/or people I have/am researching are the Plantagenets, Tudors, Careys, Thorntons, Grey's, Elizabeth of York and her mother Elizabeth Woodville (both queens of England), The Princes in the Tower, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, Lady Jane Grey, Anne Boleyn, Mary Boleyn, William Carey, and various others. I myself am descended from many historical people! I even found out I am related (sort of) to two of my closest friends.
