 I became interested in the Dunham family after I started researching my family’s genealogy on Ancestry.com in 2009. The name Hannah Dunham shows up in a crude family tree in the front of a book about my 2x great grandparents, Daniel and Agnes Freeman, written by a 2nd cousin, once removed. No one in my Freeman family line seemed to know where the name Hannah Dunham came from or how it got passed down. There are scant records for a Hannah Dunham that would fit correctly in the time and place my Freeman ancestors lived so last year I finally joined the DGRA in hopes I might find some clues about her. With her immense knowledge of the Dunhams in the Eastern US and especially New York State, Gratia Mahoney very generously gave her time and energy to narrow it down to 2 possible Hannah Dunhams for me. I currently live outside Buffalo, NY just west of Genesee County where Hannah Dunham Freeman is buried.

 '''James A. Streeter'''
 I became interested in my family history when I was about 12. I had been given a list of 10 names from my G.mother Donham that took me back to John Alden and the Mayflower in 1620. I had a slow start, not being able to drive until I was in High School and then I was able to get to several libraries that had family history collections and the family tree grew. I was about 19 or 20 when I found information at the Los Angeles City Library that took 20 generations to 56 generations of European Royal Families.

 I have been the treasurer and member of DSFC-DGRA since 2012. I was a founder of a online genealogical society in the past and member of several other family history organizations. I have also been working on a number of projects adding additional info to the Dunhams in America section along with indexing the newsletters and re-designing various sections on the website to make them more user friendly.

		+	'''Lisa Eschenburg'''
		+
		+	"There was more time before genealogy. I blame my Dad and a brother for getting me into this." That is a direct quote from Lisa Eschenburg who has actively researched her family genealogy for over 25 years having started with the family's predominantly German lineage and eventually taking over the research on her Dad's one non-German line that started the adventure and involves a Dunham line. In recent years, the addition of autosomal DNA has helped support traditional research identifying her fourth great grandmother Dunham's parents and siblings breaking down a brick wall.
		+
		+	Her hobby/obsession has resulted in research experience for not only Germany (including onsite research) but also Michigan, Ontario, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. In more recent years her experience has expanded to include some more southern states along with England and The Netherlands. Genealogy volunteering and helping others has added experience with French Canadian, Italian, Polish and Russian research.
		+
		+	Lisa's life background includes a bachelor's degree in journalism with a public relations emphasis along with advertising and marketing minors. This led her to the world headquarters of two tier-one automotive suppliers and the headquarters of a nursery and crafts retail chain.
		+
		+	In genealogy life, Lisa has been a local history and genealogy room volunteer at a local library for over twenty years. A member for twenty-some years, Lisa is currently a board member of the Macomb County Genealogy Group as well as the group's webmaster/tweeter/pinner and chairperson of the group's Let's Talk...Genealogy discussion group. She was the primary writer of the group's last two workshops on beginning genealogy and lineage genealogy. As if that is not enough, Lisa occasionally speaks on a variety of topics for local genealogical, historical, and member organizations. She is also a blogger and Youtuber on genealogy. In addition, Lisa is a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. In 2018 Lisa and a sister were accepted as members of the National Society United States Daughters of 1812. Lisa has been a member of The Dunham-Singletary Family Connections now also known as the Dunham Genealogy Research Association since 2014 and a board member since 2019.
