I am the mother of four sons, and grandmother of nine (and counting). I have recently come back to the pacific northwest, after living in the Colorado mountains for eight years. My children and most of the grandbabies are here; so it is a good place to come back to. I am researching my family, so that I can leave a path for them to follow. Find a grave has been one of the most useful tools I have found; and it gives me the clues to the prior generations to research...leading me deeper into family lives. If I could recommend anything at all, it would be that while the grandparents or great grandparents are alive...ask for names, date, and places....it makes the journey so much easier if you do.
