I started doing family history research in 2007 when I received a phone call from a cousin in California. He provided me with pictures of relatives I had never seen or known. 9 years later my family tree book has expanded farther than I ever expected. Pictures of 3rd and 4th great grandparents have been shared with me by distant cousins. I hope to have everyone listed in my book listed on Ancestry as well as Find A Grave, but some will be impossible. I do enjoy the "country roots" of my ancestors much more than the city. I believe everyone should be remembered regardless if he or she has a headstone or exact knowledge of burial location is known or not.
