Part time genealogist. Started after my grandfather gave me his research from years of effort. Has turned out to be one of my most driving passions. I look forward to years after retirement when I have more time to devote to it. It's good to see the internet maturing some. Projects like this have been very influential in advancing our understanding of and bonding with our ancestors. I do wish that more people would take seriously the documentation of information before publishing it for others to pass on. I think this is the area that I have matured in most in my research. Not taking someone's word as gospel until I have actually seen the physical evidence. Even then, realizing that there are errors and proceeding with caution. Thanks to everyone involved in Find A Grave, you are truly a blessing!
