About me

Introduction First and foremost, I am a genealogist whose purpose is to clarify and restore the Family lineage of my husband's and my children, not in any way shape or form am I out to find and publish skeletons in the closet of any ancestor of which I come across. If and when I come across them, I will deal with them as discreetly as possible and I will try not to bring out those skeletons in any public profiles. Secondly, because my Children's Family Heritage is SO widely diverse in England/ Scotland, Northern, Eastern and Western Europe and Colonial America, I strictly use the paternal lineage first, encompassing the families along the line. This means in my research, my own lineage is a subset of my husband's paternal lineage ( Jackson). This is not to demean my own family lineage or women in general, It is done to keep order and sanity in my research, which can get out of hand VERY quickly otherwise. Finally THIS lineage does not feed into any political philosophy - past present or future! I am proud of each one of my children's ancestral cultures, and strive to create a positive outlook on each and every one! ~ Deborah Shutek Jackson, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Shutek-1
