About Me

Claire Smith

Welcome to my website.

As I gather more and more readers, I am intrigued by the variety of the topics they bring up. I hope you’ll use the comment section to connect with me.

About Me:  I am a lifelong Connecticut resident who spent forty years in banking in New England. I made my long commute a highlight of my day, by listening to books by wonderful authors, from Jane Austen to Barbara Kingsolver. Now blissfully retired, I spend my time taking deep dives into my genealogical past and writing the stories I discover.  My husband, Peter, and I have raised three daughters in our Connecticut shoreline home.  They and their growing families live close by and visit often (especially in beach weather).
