My name is Pamela Oglesby from sunny Jacksonville, Florida and I am a story teller.  That is, the story teller of my family history.   I have been interested in genealogy for about 20 years.  I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Jacksonville Genealogy Society.  Genealogy is my passion. I enjoy writing as well.  I like to know what life was like for my ancestors and what was happening in the world during their lifetimes.

I have a very supportive husband, 3 great sons, 1 step daughter and 4 wonderful grandchildren.  My mother lives with us as

well.  My best times are the ones spent with family and close friends.

I enjoy reading about history.  I read a wide variety of books and I am ready to travel anytime, most any where.  I am Christian and very much enjoy my church.  I enjoy gardening and am interested in vegetarian cooking.  I have my BSN and worked in nursing for 22 years until I became disable with lupus.  The lupus is under control and I have much to be grateful for in my life.  Last but not least is my 16 pound cat, Oscar.  He comes when I call him and keeps track of me at all times.

I lost a cat I loved dearly before we adopted Oscar.   I never dreamed he would be such a loving, playful companion.

Genealogist – The Story Tellers
We are the chosen. In each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe.
