About This Site
Welcome!
This is the genealogy website of Kristen Murphy. I began researching my family history as a preteen in the 1990s, mostly using home sources and local libraries. After an extended break, I resumed my research in 2016. My hope for this site is to present information in a way that is accessible for interested family members as well as useful to fellow genealogists.
