I was born and reared in Southern California until age 12 at which point our father moved us to his hometown in Southern Missouri. After graduating from High School in West Plains, MO, I have attended college, served four years in the Army, and worked in the construction industry which has allowed me to live in or visit 48 of the 50 states and a few foreign countries. I currently live in Central Indiana. My love of family history keeps me roaming cemeteries wherever and whenever possible. I have been a serious genealogist for about 18 years. The photo shows me beside the military marker of my 2nd great grand uncle, Samuel L. Gannon, Indiana 1st Heavy Artillery located in the National Cemetery, Marion, Indiana.
