I am the keeper of old treasures in my family – photos, bibles with family records, letters, land deeds, and more. My earliest treasures come from my 5th great-grandparents who left Richmond, Rhode Island to settle a farm in Voluntown, Connecticut. That farm was passed down patrilineally to my 4th and 3rd great-grandfathers along with all the old family treasures, which were then passed down matrilineally from my 2nd great-grandmother to me. I have been researching my family history since 1998. I am an amateur genealogist who is endlessly curious about the lives of my forebears, and I love nothing better than to solve a good ancestry mystery. I have been a member of Find a Grave for a while, but I am just getting around to scanning the treasures I have, and adding dates and details to the memorials of my ancestors so they can be shared with others through this great resource, Find a Grave!
