I have been interested in genealogy since the very early 1970's when I found the newspaper obituary of my great-great grandmother: Sarah Varches Killingsworth Dill Weaver Hicks among various photos, letters and other personal papers that had been saved by my family. I was looking for "something old" to use for my wedding. Finding her obituary ignited a passion for researching our family's past. At the time, I had no idea what an interesting adventure awaited.
