Genealogy Research by Elizabeth Harris
I'm Elizabeth Harris, now retired but formerly a biologist at Duke University. I've been working on my family history since the early 1990s, and I've put some of the information I have onto the web, in order to make new contacts and to help others with their research. I'm working on several different clusters of families in several geographic areas, and I will continue to add new information as time permits. Please check back occasionally to see what's new.
This site replaces my original site at www.duke.edu/web/chlamy/.
The picture above is of my older daughter with my grandmother.
