Who I Am...

In real life, I am Sharon Workman.  On my MSN groups, I usually go by LincolnsSparrow.  In other places, where I must choose a username, I am Checochinican, partly because with that name I never get "Already taken.  Choose another..."

Checochinican was my 5th great grandfather, a chief of the Lenni Lenape (aka Delaware) tribe, important enough to have made the history books, as were his son and grandson, also my ancestors.  I got lucky in that regard.

I've gone about as far as I can go with my own ancestry, but because I have a very serious addiction here, I while away the hours and feed my habit by researching for others.  I don't travel, except on the internet, so I am limited to what I can find there (much!) and in books that I have bought over the past several years.

I live in Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York, where I was born and grew up.  I have also lived in Connecticut, Maryland, and other places in New York State. 

And that is about enough for today...

Hi Sharon

Nice to see you here, Checochinican, Lincoln Sparrow. Have you started any pages yet? I created a Place Page for the Niagara Region today. I have some editing to do on it (I put at least one picture on twice) and a few more pix, but I'm getting sore sittting here, I've been scanning and editing and posting all day, so I think I'm going to call it a day. See you at AC in the morning.
