As a child, I grew up with no extended family living near my home. This has been my catalyst for wanting to pursue genealogy. As I have discovered my grandparents, greatgrandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins, I feel that I start to "know" them. My work on Ancestry has been very rewarding. I have been interested in genealogy for decades, but recently retired, I now have more time to devote to it. The search can be amazing. With the Find A Grave website, I am able to honor the memory of those who have passed.
