Kristina Gow Clever is a Certified Genealogist® and resides in southern Alabama. Her passion for genealogy began with letters from her mom, Sue Sisco, about her own family research. Kristina interviewed her paternal grandparents in 1986 and discovered that each had lost a parent at a very young age. She used that initial information to trace her paternal ancestors to Scotland and Norway. In 2005, Kristina became the recipient of 30+ years of her mom’s research, giving her the opportunity to explore her Southern roots.
