I am a retired Elementary School Office clerk. I am widowed, and have a daughter and son and 4 grandchildren. I love to read, do needlework like Hardanger or cross stitch. But I have spent hours of my free time lately working on my family tree. I never realized it would end of being such a project. I live in southern MN, not far from where most of my ancesters settled. I enjoy going to the cemeteries and trying to find the many relatives. I tell everyone, it's like working on a puzzle - some day all the pieces will come together.
