I got into genealogy when the burial location of a distant relative was located after being lost for approximately three generations. I created a find-a-grave entry for him so that this would not occur again. I couldn't stop with him with significant data available for other relatives so I kept adding just one more person until I ran out of relatives. The four main branches researched are defined by the grandparents: Mathews & Dickerson on my mothers side and Brady & of course Raines on my fathers side along with some tributaries created by marriage. Please contact me if you like to suggest corrections, additional information or submit pictures. If I have created a memorial for a distant relative of mine that you would like to take possession, feel free to contact me.
