I first took an interest in my family tree when I was still in high school (class of 1970). I learned that my pre-immigration ancestors were from England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden and Norway. To this date, I still have two lines, ALLEN & TAYLOR, which are in the U.S. as far back as I have traced (Colonial America). I'm not sure when I started taking photos of gravestones, but suffice to say it was in the film-camera era (Olympus OM-1), though on a limited basis. But since going digital, I have expanded on this subset of my genealogy research.
