I've been researching my family tree since 1975 with my Mom who became interested when I started asking questions. I was fortunate that my great grandparents moved to this area over 100 years ago and their offspring stayed. We compiled a mostly complete five generation tree quickly. It was so fun and exciting but not near as fun or as exciting as when I started putting it all on Ancestry. My only regret is that I didn't do it before my Mom passed. I signed up to take pictures for Find a Grave to "pay it forward" in thanks to so many that helped me through the years. Everyone has my permission to use my photos on Ancestry. Mary
