I became interested in recording my family history when I realized the storytellers were disappearing. Thanks to the Internet, I have a much easier time sorting truth from myth and/or mystery. Visiting the graves of my relatives has given me insight into my families' social circles and family dynamics. When I am at cemeteries, I often take pictures of interesting graves, hoping their family knows their history.
The families I want to learn more about are:
Baltimore, Md: Skarda and Stolba (Bohemian)
New Haven, Ct: Ruotolo and Lanzieri (Italian)
New York City: Schumacher and Wuntz (German)
New York City: Kennedy, Delaney, Turner (Irish and Scottish)
