My father is in the moderate stages of altzheimers, and my mother is disabled.

As such, I have been bestoed a lot of old paper and pictures to "hold" for them. I have been given the okay to go through all the boxes one at a time, so I could pair down the paper, and ended up very curious as to the people in the photos.

My wonderful belated, grandmother was a prolific letter writer and my father saved a boat load of her letters.

Reading through them brought me closer to who my family really was, from an adult perspective.

I have now offically become obsessed when I get a spare moment, I read letters and research, so I can try to put the pieces all together for our family tree. It's fun and interesting, and I am always amazed how much I have in common with my realatives whom I only saw as a child or not at all.

While doing my research, on my own family, I came across some Jewish Cemeteries that are kind of obscure, so I have started the task of adding them to this site, in hopes that it will help more folks who are looking to take a peek back and connect with their heritage. It's a wonderful thing!

I work full-time and live with my kids and husband in Texas.
