Findagrave.com has been such a great resource in finding my ancestors that I felt a happy obligation to contribute. Old cardboard boxes of unlabeled family photos spurred a childhood interest in my family's past. When the internet came along, and I found others who had figured out who my great-great-grandparents were, I was absolutely thrilled. Off-and-on serious research over the last 15 years has made me aware of some of the minefields to avoid. Having old memories come back to life is worth the time and trouble. Hoping to help others do the same.
