Peggy Lynn Clemens Lauritzen, AG, FOGS has been involved in genealogy since before her birth.  

My parents were excellent genealogists, and instilled the same love of history and family in me and my three sisters.  One of my favorite pictures is of my mother on her way to do cemetery research four days before my birth.  

My roots run deep into the South, where I am Accredited.  They involve the states of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and some areas of Pennsylvania.  I love the area of Appalachia, and have written several Legacy QuickGuides that you may purchase from the site:  familytreewebinars.com/peggylauritzen
