I was born in Bermuda, the youngest child of George Henry Josiah Taggett and Hazel Dorothy Pedro. My family resided in St. George, Bermuda.

As a youth my father operated a charter fishing business that allowed him time to enjoy taking his family deep sea fishing, and on occasion camping on Hen Island during the Summer while he was the caretaker. The 50's were a magical time when the world was at peace and adults seemed content to share stories and tall tales of the war days and surviving the depression.

I attending :Lyceum, a private school in Baileys Bay followed by Dellwood  and Mt St. Agnes Academy in Hamilton. As a young woman my introductory to the work force was working at the Bermuda Book Store. After spending a few years working in one of the office at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital I went on to Archie Brown and Son before I left Bermuda for an anticipated 6 month period in 1968, along with my 15 month old son, Carlos.

My introduction to Toronto, Ontario, Canada was not the most welcoming in the world. Aside from the family members with whom I was staying the community seemed foreign in every possible way. My initial year away was the hardest as I missed my larger family in Bermuda, friends and all the familiar faces that I passed every day during my life in Bermuda. However, I realized that Toronto offered an abundance of opportunity that I could not afford to turn down. I was a decision I have never regretted.

It seems so strange that my son is presently almost twice as old as I was when we left Bermuda. After spending close to 6 years in the printing business while I attended George Brown College in the evenings, as well as studying various correspondence courses, I went on to begin my 26 year career with the Social Services Division, Community and Neighbourhood Services Department for the City of Toronto.  In 2000 I retired from the City and after taking a year off, I returned to the workforce on a part-time basis.

The Internet has absolutely fascinated me since my son brought home his second computer and within months I had an exact computer of my own. Two people exploring the Internet is not easy when there is only 1 computer connected. What fascinates me the most is that in this vast area there are no limitations to those with physical challenges or those living in remote areas. If you can't afford to travel by ship or on an airline to visit a country that has always interested you - you can do it within seconds at no cost from the comfort and safety of your own home.  Being short on funds does not preclude you from reading classical literature; listening to or learning about the great composers or artist are available. All you need to do is use the Search function of one of your favourite Search Engines, and your there!

Since May 2002 I have been extensively researching the Taggett Family Tree and maintaining a web site with the results of that research. After purchasing "19th Century Church Registers of Bermuda" compiled by A. C. Hollis Hallet, while in Bermuda in May 2008, I decided to create an online presence of my Bermuda Family Tree.
