And on the 8th day, God created The Valliers

Author: Marianne Frontino McCreight

BS degree at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), major written communications, minor in graphic communications. General Information About Marianne Frontino McCreight: I was certified as a California, Michigan, and national shorthand reporter and worked for 20 years as an independent court reporter, mostly taking depositions and hearings but also some work in courts. During college for my BS (2013-2017) I worked as a part-time proofreader/copyeditor for short story writers and court reporters, reading court transcripts and deposition transcripts and also some transcribing. I love learning new things and am interested in more than I have the time to learn. In addition to writing and graphic communications, I find the following things interesting: interior design, photography, creative writing, gardening, and many different kinds of crafting/creating, especially any kind of upcycling or repurposing of old things into new. After a course in Social Media during spring of 2015, and continued self-study after that, I broadened my target career goals to include social media management, content creation, and website and information design. My Twitter handle is @marmccr8 and I am on LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, and TeeDoo. While at EMU, I wrote some for the Eastern Echo, EMU's student newspaper, the Opinions column. I also have several blogs that were either school assignments or my random rants and ravings. The greatest achievement of my life is successfully raising three incredible young adults. They are all loving, considerate, and independent contributors to society, and what's really great is that I like them all!!!

Several of our direct-line x-great-grandmothers were some of the King's Daughters who came to Canada as pioneers, called "Les Filles du Roy."

. . . I learned that the Valliers who came to North America were extremely proficient at procreation ~ okay, they reproduced like rabbits!  Seriously, one of my umpteen-great-grandfathers had 26 kids!
