Women of Playing Card History
This website is dedicated women that were involved in some way with playing cards in history.
Some designed them, some worked with them and some were just connected with them.

My name is Dave Seaney. I am a playing card collector that also loves history and genealogy. I have combined all of these interests to write stories about the forgotten people of playing card history.
I now refer to myself as a "Playing Cardologist".
My stories are based on as much first hand information I can find. I use legal documents, personal information from connected family historians or descendants and sources from the period I am researching.
As a member of 52+Joker, the largest playing card collector club in the world, I also have access to lots of other experts. I believe my stories have more correct information than others that have previously appeared. I am always trying to improve my stories so if you have any information, or photos that are helpful please contact me.
I am always open to researching more people. Presently my "To Do" list has about 60 stories in various stages. But if you have any ideas, or questions, please send them to me through my Contact Page.
