I started doing genealogy with my family as a young teen. That's when I started learning about microfilm, old census and church records, and cemeteries.

Since then, it's become my own obses - er, hobby. The internet has been a boon, thanks to the many online tools that make long-distance research and collaboration far more efficient.

Find A Grave has become a chance to "go to" cemeteries I might not otherwise get a chance to "visit". I hope that by transcribing and photographing some of the cemeteries in my own area, I can pass that favor on to others.

If I have created a memorial for one of your family members and you would like it transferred to you, please let me know.
