Before I become the caretaker of my parents' genealogy research, I had no idea exactly why it became such a passion for them. I have a much better understanding now. Combined with their love for travel, their searching for answers motivated them to visit many countries (proudly 67) and cities to look for the missing links of their family trees. They did all this research beginning in the late 1970's just into 2000 when genealogical information became very accessible on line. They would have loved the sources we can now tap into—but would have missed out on the romance they found together in their travels.

It is rather ironic that, starting out as what I felt was a family obligation to carry on my parents research, I have now been bitten by the same genealogy bug. Also, being a nuclear family unit in Southern California, where my father landed his first of a long history of work in aerospace, we didn't grow up with any relatives—all being in Michigan. Now, here I am researching many of the relatives, that in a different set of circumstances, I would have had as a part of my life.

If any of my relatives stumble upon this bio, please contact me. Both Donald and Eileen (Groesser) Hennrick are not of this world now but I'm sure they would appreciate your saying hello. You will not find them in any cemetery since they chose to have their ashes combined and laid to rest over the Pacific Ocean.

I'd appreciate it if you would ask permission before using any photos that I have added to this site. If you use them anywhere else, please just site me as your source.

I welcome any additional information or corrections you have about a memorial. I will review it for accuracy and make the changes. Just let me know your relationship when you do and perhaps how you came across this information.

In the book of life, our loved ones are not lost to us unless they are forgotten. Reconstructing Family Trees helps in a very small way to keep them connected to us.
