About the Author

Terri: I don't descend from the Conyers, but my fiance does, John David Conyers. I've been addicted to genealogy since 1989. I've attempted for several years to gather information on my family to no avail. All my research is in Sicily and Sweden and it is very difficult gathering information. When I met John in 1992, he and his oldest son had just begun their research. I began helping them and soon took over. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business and many hobbies. I love photography, animals, reading scary books, creating scrapbooks, and, of course, genealogy. John has four children: John (Gina), Kelly (Deb), Michael (Amy), and Karen. He was a heavy equipment operator of the gas company in Chicago for 31 years and retired in February 1997. He enjoys dog training, which is how we met. Arden: Arden Sleadd is the home-educating mother of five children and a former music teacher. She began preparation of her grandmother's memoirs while in college in 1980. The present book is expanded to include historical and genealogical research in Iowa and Oregon. She resides with her husband John and children in Grants Pass, Oregon.
