For four months in 2007, I did field research on my family History. My only known relatives were a total of 6 people. After visiting family home town's in Neb., Iowa, Ill, Indiana, and Ohio and spending many hours in local Libraries, historical society's and visiting many cemeteries, I now have a greater knowledge of my ancestor's. I photographed many family member grave stones and feel grateful to be able to share them with those interested in our family heritage. My ancestor tree now numbers over 2,000 family members. I also was fortunate to meet a few family members still alive, which gave me a lot of incentive to continue. While not able to write all the surnames in this bio, the main surnames are: Gard, Garner, Bennett, Doubleday, Meeker, and Garrison.
