I was raised in Wellman, IA where many of my Swartzendruber ancestors lived. In the mid '70's my great aunt Magdalene put together a family history starting with my ggggrandfather Christian Swartzendruber which is the source of family data that I use today. I became interested in genealogy because of Magdalene. I am lucky to also have a fairly extensive databank of my mother, Pauline (Miller) family, plus data on my paternal grandmother's Rodgers family. In addition to this I have assembled a lot of information about my wife Becky's mother's family.

I have found Find A Grave to be very helpful in adding and clarifying information for me. I think this is a wonderful tool to preserve and protect our heritage for future generations to come.
