My grandmother sparked my interest in genealogy - after she died, I took over a bit, because she insisted we were related to Thomas Edison. No luck there, so far.

I've learned that you can gain a lot of information about a family by the obituaries written about their loved ones. Their history and their stories are intriguing, some of their memorials even include their interests, hobbies, and careers. They can also be the key to discovering unknown family members and revealing possible family secrets!
