Introduction The Down East Genealogist (AKA Kathy) was born, raised, and educated in Maine, lived in upstate New York for 25 years, and has resided since 2001 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her checkered career has encompassed chemistry, photography, website development and management, technical writing, computer programming, and collectible trading card game development. Her retirement project is the continuing pursuit of those often elusive Downeasters, New Englanders, Islanders, and Quebeckers that populate her family tree: the Kirkpatricks, Kirks, Hodsdons, Rands, and Sukeforths of Maine; the Murphys of Prince Edward Island and New Hampshire (Coos County); the McIntyres of Prince Edward Island; the Rabideaus (Robidas) of Quebec and New Hampshire; and the Woodwards of Vermont and New Hampshire.
