I began researching my family in 1952 while a college student. After being graduated I found no time to pursue the interest generated by my father. Upon retirement in 1991, I started gathering information for an informative volume for my children and grandchildren. My research ultimately led me to "FIND A GRAVE." In September 2013, after about eight years, I completed that volume, although I am currently planning a revised and expanded edition which would include eleven generations. My interest in being a "FIND A GRAVE" contributor is, as fellow researcher, D. G. Bender, put it, "to honor our ancestors who toiled so relentlessly in building these great lands we now call HOME."
