is searching for ancestors
and finding friends.

"The Improbable"
John Fifer is a native of Dover, DE, a US Air Force veteran, and a graduate of Widener University with a Masters in Health Administration. He has been retired for 19 years and he and his wife Connie have traveled extensively throughout Western Europe (RV’ing), New Zealand, Israel, Egypt, eastern Canada (RV’ing), and have logged four trips across the US (RV’ing). John has also traveled to Japan, Cambodia, Mexico (Tijuana!), and Vietnam (pleasure not wartime). Additionally, they have taken their sailing vessel, “Riverdance”, from the Chesapeake Bay several times through Florida to winter in the Bahamas, with one three year adventure down the eastern Caribbean Island nations as far as Trinidad. John feels privileged to write travel and genealogy articles for RANCH AND RESERVE MAGAZINE, an on-line quality publication out of Canada ( www.ranchreservemagazine.com). He has been pursuing his family history for about a dozen years. John and his wife have one daughter and one granddaughter. Being a two time cancer survivor, John and his wife make every attempt to live life to the fullest.
The presenter will discuss finds that he considers “meant to be”/ “almost miraculous”: how they occurred, why they were pursued, and any subsequent follow-up. All but one of the discoveries are documented, and the other provides fuel for further research. For those who have experienced such findings, this will be a reinforcement and reminder of your personal discoveries and an opportunity to relive the excitement of those finds. For new researchers it may provide insights into where to explore, who to contact, questions to ask yourself, and most of all, why we as genealogists persevere. This will be a light and fast-paced program so bring your running shoes, metaphorically speaking of course! Bring a friend and see you there!
