In my earlier years of "invincibility", I enjoyed all sports, fishing, hunting, golfing, traveling, RV'ing, working, loving, and learning how to be a husband, father, and now grandfather.
A few years ago, I had considerable difficulty with acquiring copies of my own Birth Certificate, which were then needed. With that experience grew a personal and driven quest into searching ancestral genealogy. It is truly amazing to realize just how many persons are needed to create your own very existence today. And, one can discover how smarter they maybe were than you are.
I recommend "Find-A-Grave" primarily after other research quests. But for your immediate kinship, this will be your most treasured beginning.
