I was born in Peebles, Adams County, Ohio but our family moved away when I was just a child. On Memorial Day outings to the cemetery, I would ask my parents who those tombstones were in relationship to our family but neither knew except for their parents and grandparents graves. Now that my parents and grandparents are deceased, I realized I did not know anything about my relatives before them so I started building my family tree in 2015 and have discovered a wealth of information, especially with the info I have found on Find-A-Grave, and now I know who those graves belong to and how they relate to my family. I never appreciated coming from a small town until now and it makes me feel very proud that I came from a family of pioneers who helped build that community.
