I hope you enjoy the view from my backyard as much
as I do. I have the
pleasure of living in the beautiful Matanuska-Susitna
Valley of southcentral Alaska.
The Mat-Su Valley is home of the Iditarod
Sled Dog Race restart point. It is famous for growing huge cabbages
and many recreational opportunities.
In addition to the great view from my house, I enjoy
being mother of 5
and grandmother of two, Rachel
and Cassidy.
I love to research the genealogy of my family and learn
about my 'roots'. So far I have
researched in many parts of the United States
as well as England, Scotland, Germany
and Sweden. I'd love to have you check out my
list of surnames to see if we might
have any common names. As a result of my genealogical
research, I've also been able
to find many stories of my
ancestors .
My great-grandfather, Hermann Henrich Ludvig Kötter,
came from the village of
Haustenbeck, which
no longer exists. The people of the village were scattered and
resettled in many areas.
