This blog is dedicated to my mother, Alison Croom Cowling. She was an avid family historian and genealogist, and her family tree research was foundational for my own genealogical work. 

My reseach has been on two separate trees which among other places reside on Ancestry. "Cowling Croom" for my side of the family, and "Del Giacco Stafford" for my wife Claudia's family. (To view these trees you will need to create a guest account after clicking on the link if you are not aleady on Ancestry.)

This blog will be a place where I can share stories, images, tree details, links and more.
