I am one of the hardy souls that actually enjoys being in cemeteries when in search of that elusive ancestor or their family.

I have lived all over the US and enjoy traveling and seeing new sights.

My main family lines of interest are:

NORTH, MORGAN, POTWIN, and JUDD in the Chicago, Illinois area from 1862-Present.

VAN DEREN (VON DUEHREN) from New Jersey and New York.

Many of my lines then jump to Indiana, Ohio, Connecticut, Massachusetts and all over New England in the early 1600s.

*(My husband's lines)*

CURBO/KERBOW/KERBO/KIRBO/KIERBOW/CURBOW/CURBOUGH/NICHOLAS/HESTER in the GA, LA, and TN areas. Two key counties are Jackson in GA and Lincoln in TN then they mostly seemed to move to Rusk county in TX.

BERRY/HEALY/GILMORE/LAFFEY from Ireland

I will probably start volunteering in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in order to add more information for Find a Grave!

I appreciate all the people I have found so far that were photographed by others. Thanks for all your hard work!

I don't mind being contacted with a specific question about one individual, but please don't contact me with open-ended questions about an entire family line. Beware of copying other people's work on your family since not everyone is meticulous or careful about the data they include as theirs (I call them name collectors).

Please refer to ancestry.com, familysearch.org, and rootsweb.com which is where I got most of the information posted here for most of the memorials I manage.
