Being from Colma/Daly City California, I grew up living near the cemeteries. My Grandfather (Luigi Maffei) worked at Olivet Memorial Park as a groundskeeper/grave digger for many years and my mother would often point out things that she knew he'd built as we drove by.
Family history has always been an interest of mine, from when I was young and would listen to stories that my parents would tell me about ancestors I never knew. Since taking up genealogy as a hobby, I have found Find A Grave a useful research tool. Research is like a treasure hunt, you never know what you'll find!
