A few years back, after several family deaths, I became the oldest member of my family at the age of 50.  When I went through the mountains of photographs, I had several boxes of picture of people I didn't recognize.  Pictures from the past of people who were part of what makes me who I am...my heritage.  I decided that I would create a family scrapbook to include pictures and stories of my family so I could guarantee that, at least the people I know, won't end up in a shoe box in later years...names forgotten and missing from the family tree.  This quest led me to ancestry research and I was addicted.  I searched all records I could find, built a family tree and discovered some family secrets.  It was very exciting.  Then I discovered cemeteries.  Now, I cannot drive past any cemetery without thinking,"I need to walk through there to see what questions it wants to answer.".
       I live in Kentucky. My family tree includes HORD, KIMREY, DALRYMPLE, MCBRIDE, IRVINE, WHITE, KING, UNDERWOOD.  My husbands family include STEVENSON, GRIFFIN, CARTER, CUNNINGHAM, GRIFFIN, KOON, JONES & MORRIS
       I love being able to help others build their family story with headstone photos.  I prefer searching the small country cemeteries, but not during the summer...I love cemeteries, but I dont like snakes!
