I was born and raised on Long Island in a little town called North Patchogue. I joined the military and seen the world plus quite a bit of the USA.My love for history and especially family history drives me to explore cemeteries, both public and private. I have completed the family genealogy of my family's name (Howland) and now I'm venturing forth to explore the surnames of Carter, DelQuaglio, and Ventrice.Someday, I hope to write a book about all of the family names, so my children's children will have something to read and know where they came from in history.I also love helping others in their quest to learn about their family history.
