Welcome!
I am Joanna Loops and this is my Orchard. A culmination of 17years of family research. My father told me years ago that myself and my brothers were the only Loops in the United States - I found that rather interesting. The internet had just started to take off, and I did a Phone book search, just to see how many Loops came up - there were 22!!! Oh My Goodness... who were these people and how didn't I know about them? And off I went from there. Family research is fascinating, addicting, wonderfully cathartic and emotional. I'm hooked!
I live in Oregon with my family, am a graduate student, a teacher, a computer geek, trying to establish my love of gardening, and a new momma.
I also do web design! If you are interested in building a website for your genealogical family (or for anything else), please contact me. I would love to help you with your genealogical researches, and any thing else I might be able to!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy huntings,
