I am a retired computer systems programmer. As the son of a military father, I grew up without having close relations to extended family and my mother was adopted, so we knew little of her background. I developed an early interest in family trees and this has taken off since the addition of computers and the Internet. Find a Grave proved to be a wonderful source of genealogical information and after using it for some time, I decided to give something back to the site and help others as Find a Grave has helped me. So I became a photo volunteer and also research to add additional information to people on the site where I can.
