I was born just outside Chicago in Illinois. I currently reside in Washington State. I became interested in genealogy a couple of years ago when my father was in hospice and began telling all kinds of family stories. I started out with an Ancestry dot com account, then my brother and I submitted DNA samples... now I'm combing cemeteries for our lost family members. It's pretty amazing what you can find if you know where to look.
