We have settled and will stay put here in the Appalachian Mountains, it is just wonderful here.I discovered the fascinating world of Genealogy and have been researching family history since 1995.My family on my father's side is originally from Walter & Frank, Saratov, Russia. I am part of the second generation born in the States.On my father's side of the family, I am interested in the Sir names of Kister, Kaufmann, Babcock, Widup, Macbeth, Gettman.On my mother's side of the family are Wright, Sweet, Jones, Brady, Cox; Hale; Paulson.Hubby's side is Morris, Elam, Lightfoot, Coffey, Jeffrey, Koehl.For other family memebers I'm searching Worley, Barnett, Chaney, Smith, LaMon, Umstead, Cho, Iliff, & Galardo.When I found the Findagrave.com web site, I realized I had to be a part of it all. We actually find graves as a family hobby, we all participate, it's great!My hubby is interested in the Revolution and Civil wars.I like to search and add names in local grave yards that are not presently on the database, and finding old obits on the net that hasn't been added as yet.If anyone finds info that I have submitted wrong, please bring it to my attention and I will correct it right away. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
