Bio

Our family reunions have been going on for over 135 consecutive years. Remembering back when I was a child, asking my father "Who are all those old people". He would go into detail of how they were my Aunts and Uncles. Now, today, I am in that "Old People" group at our reunions.

At our 2013 reunion, I first met a cousin, Terry, from out of state. He showed me on his Tablet, the information he had collected from the family history going back to our Great Grandfather. It sparked an interest in me in gathering as much family information as possible to share with the family here in my home state at our Annual Reunions. Thank You Terry for coming into my life and sharing family information.

My children and grandchildren are now enjoying going to the annual reunion, but I don't think they like walking around in Cemeteries. When we would drive past a Cemetery, I would always say to them, "Do you know how many people are buried in that Cemetery?" Of course the answer would always be "all of them". I did that mostly as a memory for them as they grow older. In the future I believe my grandchildren will also be asking their grandchildren the same question, and remembering me how I used to ask them the same question when they were young.

I am very new to Find A Grave, and enjoy taking photo's of head stones.
