Introduction I am Karen Blackmore the author of Karen's Genealogy Oasis blog. I have been researching families since 2002, although only recently have I become more serious about it. I am a retired high school math teacher with a BA in Mathematics Education and an MA in Bilingual/Multicultural Education. I am a quilter and have been for decades although quilting is getting less time now that I am more involved in family research. My husband Walt supports my genealogy and quilting. Just looking at my closet stacked with tubs of fabric (organized by color) and my file cabinets and bookshelves filled with both genealogy- and quilting-related books and files, is an indicator of how supportive he is. Walt is a wood carver, specializing in Avian Art. If you are interested in seeing some wood sculptures, please visit www.carversoasis.com. Walt and I have two children and five grandchildren which we enjoy visiting.
