I've recorded family information that came my way since I was a teenager. Most of it was handwritten, before the computer resources were available. I'm generally interested in history, anywhere, anytime, but especially how ordinary people fit in. I find the western migration in the United States fascinating because it's part of how my family came to be who they are.

Being outdoors has always been important to me. I enjoy walking in cemeteries, remembering my own earlier family and using my imagination to picture who these other people were, how they were related, what role they played in the place where they lived. I'm a gardener, so the greenery and flowers are worth the visits, too.

Now, through Find a Grave, I'm finding cousins I didn't know I had and some new genealogical data, too. Enjoying it thoroughly! Send me an email if you think we're related! And if you want to transfer a memorial, please ask.
