Bio

I am a Texas grandmother who has decided to do more genealogy research than I had ever done before. I've actually worked on my genealogy for about 15 yrs; but, have run into so many brick walls. In the past 3 or 4 yrs I have managed to break down those brick walls and start finding relatives.

I am, also, handicapped due to a very bad car wreck a few years ago. I avoided a head-on by leaving the road. I lost speed as I went down the bar-ditch and when I slowly came back up on the road, the SUV decided to roll. We found out later that the pivital point of the car was in the top. It didn't matter that I had new tires or how slow I was going, that SUV was going to roll. After breaking my left shoulder with the shoulder belt and the lap belt costing me 4 pts of blood, not counting the broken bones, collasped lung and a few other things, I ended up on life support for 20 days. When I was able to start living life, I had to learn to walk and talk all over again. But, I feel like the good Lord had a reason for me living. So, here I am.

As I do find headstones of relatives, I want to sponsor 4 or 5 a month as I have done for the past couple of months. I'm on a fixed income -so that will determine how many I can sponsor.

I'm looking forward to finding other relatives headstones on Find A Grave.
