Following her death in 2001, the journals of her travels and experiences in Europe were discovered in a loose-leaf notebook. The Grande Tour is a compilation of her journals.
Nita began her interest in genealogy at about the age of 25, sparked by a journal kept by her belated mother titled "Reminiscences." She became a life-long devotee of the science of genealogic research, seeing herself a much cooler "Columbo," unraveling the confluences of societal and family history. In retirement she dedicated a room in her house as the "archives," her office from which she perfected her research and published several family histories for distribution.
An active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as the Charlotte County Genealogic Society, Nita was passionate about her participation and leadership. She served as editor of the publication "Geneagram" for eight years. She was awarded the Martha Washington medal by the Sons of the American Revolution for her support, and the William E. Christian award for communications by the genealogic society.lihat lebih sedikit
