I started this obsession in 1963 when I was 15 after finding a box of family photographs. Long before I knew that there was a name for people like me I was "haunting" cemeteries, sitting in dark libraries on sunny days and sifting through old records in old government buildings; somewhere finding the time between serving my God, my husband, my children and my employer. Whew! How did I do it? I have not done much research since moving from NW MO to NE TX 20 years ago. I've spent all my "hobby" time organizing and sharing my mountain of data and getting it into places where future generations can reap (for free!)my years of work. I no longer live in Longvew, TX sorry
