April Kathleen Rowley Coleman was born in Tempe, Arizona to Var Rowley and Buena Lamoreaux. She has one sister and four brothers. April is the proud mother of four children and currently has 17 grandkids. April became interested in genealogy at a very young age when she used to "collect" stories from her Grandma Lamoreaux (Mabel Asay Lamoreaux). As a 12 year old she took part in a pilot program at church in which they studied family history every Sunday in church. But even before that class she was very interested in her lineage. In fact, she has a pedigree that she filled out as a 5th grader. When she turned 16 she was happy that she could drive herself to the Family History Center in Mesa. Up to that time she had to get all of her information from older family members as her and her family visited them. Now the internet has opened the way to so much more information at our fingertips.
