Karlene Ferguson – Have I Found Nancy’s Parents? You Be the Judge
Family legend has said that Nancy Ann Stauffer’s mother died when she was young and Nancy was raised by a family named White. Years of effort by several family members to identify Nancy’s birth parents have been unsuccessful. Karlene may have had a breakthrough 18 months ago. Although all of the evidence is indirect, it may be that Nancy’s parents have been identified. Please come to hear the evidence and then decide if the research has answered the question.
Karlene has been a member of BGS for eight years and served as Recording Secretary and Program Chair. She has attended genealogical institutes in Salt Lake City, Birmingham, Alabama and Pittsburgh. Karlene completed the NGS Home Study Course and participated in the New England Historic Genealogical Society Research Week in Washington, D.C. Karlene worked for the State of Colorado in Human Resource Management for 25 years. She is a life-long history buff.
