I am a retired accountant living west of Chicago, Illinois near my two daughters (my son lives in Tucson) and enjoying my retirement by reading lots of mysteries and researching family lines. My late husband had been researching his mother's family for years and when we married in 2005, he got me fascinated in genealogy. Before he became too ill, we used to travel to do our research and check out cemeteries. Now I do all my research online and think Find a Grave website and all the volunteers posting to it are providing a great research tool.
