I first began a quest to find my ancestors a few months before I retired. A new computer, a copy of Family Tree Maker and lots of time but very little to go on and most of that turned out garbled or wrong! I never ask any of my relatives or any of my wife's relatives for information and by the time I wanted to it was to late. Time, lots of friendly gracious people at various genealogy message boards and web sites and I have broken down most of my stone walls while meeting a lot of cousins along the way. It is time to pay back some of the favors while helping enlarge the Find-a-Grave cemetery database. Anyone who looks at my member page will see that after one year I am just getting started here.
