New Board-Certified Genealogist: Debbie Hooper of Delaware

The last day of 2012 saw the initial certification of the last Board-certified genealogist of 2012: Debbie Hooper of Delmarva Genealogy Associates, http://www.delmarvagenealogy.com/. Debbie is a full-time professional genealogist specializing in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

 As a young mother, I was fortunate enough to inherit a needlework sampler from my grandmother. I was certain that the sampler came from someone in my family’s past. Although the name of the stitcher was not known by any of my grandmother’s surviving relatives, I was sure that the sampler was created by a former family member.

That sampler began my genealogical quest. More than twenty years later, that same sampler hangs proudly on my living room wall directly over an antique table that also belonged to my grandmother. I found the family member who stitched that sampler not long after beginning my search. But one thing led to another, and the searching further and further back into my family’s history has not yet ended.[1]

As a professional genealogist, Debbie assists others in finding their family’s past with a full set of services, including research, writing, and publishing. She is committed to quality genealogical work and shows that commitment through her published resources, blog, and society affiliations.

Let’s welcome her as our newest associate!
