Ever since childhood, I've always been an inquisitive girl with a desire to learn about people and stories. As an 8 year old, I remember asking my grandmother questions about our heritage and knowing things about our family that even my parents didn't know.

I dabbled with genealogy throughout college but, at the age of 25, I threw myself deep into it. I've spent thousands of hours putting together a family tree of 1,600 people (and growing!). I recently learned that I had ancestors who immigrated to America on the Mayflower! Find a Grave has been crucial to my research, and I'd like to contribute my family member's memorials so that they can be even more beneficial for the researchers who come after me.
