With over 40 years in the Virgin Islands, I am a New Yorker with deep roots in the Danish West Indies, researching surnames Bough, Beaudhuy, and Gasper. Uncovering my history has revealed unknown aspects of my ancestry, shaping my present identity. I find joy in sharing stories and connecting with others. As a transcriptionist researcher, I compiled the digitized St. Croix Population Database, drawing from Danish, American, and Virgin Islands archives. I am a proud member of organizations like the Society of Virgin Islands Historian, Friends of Denmark and Ujima Genealogy Research Group. My dream of exploring Danish West Indies ancestors became a reality through the St. Croix Population Database and access to collections at the St. Croix Landmarks Society. I recently launched the VI Headline Rewinds podcast, delving into vintage Virgin Islands newspapers. I appreciate the support of collaborators and followers.

  1. LOL! Oh I think something definitely happened the day your father was born; we just need to find it. But for now, you’re right, don’t tell him . . . tehehehe!

    I’m glad that you joined the challenge tonight. I have actually turned the TV off because I just don’t want to hear anymore news about this case and awful verdict. So this challenge allowed me to take my mind off of troubling times sis . . . if only for a little while!
