I have always had an interest in genealogy; but after my father died, it left such a hole in me that I delved deeper into the family lines. It has become my main hobby and I have been fascinated at the stories and travels that my ancestors journeyed through. We come from strong stuff and times are so much easier in some ways and yet so much harder in others now. My tree has over 14,000 people on it now - combined tree - and spans back to the 1500's on several lines. I continue to search and combine information from Ancestry into Find A Grave so that others may too follow in their footsteps.
