I became interested in family research during the moving process of my mother. She was gathering items from the house and placing them in boxes for each of her kids. In my box was a picture that was taken approximately 1900 and I learned from my aunt that it was a portrait of my great grandparents. Since then I have delved into other branches of my family tree. Names on my maternal lines are ETCHEMENDY, SHEPPERSON, SUTTON and names I research on my paternal line are O'TOOLE, DEEGAN and O'HEARN. Up to this point, I generally utilized findagrave for research purposes but a recent purchase of a scanner helped peak my interest in scanning in information on my family members. I do genealogy as a hobby in addition to my work schedule and raising my "kidlets".
