As my older family members passed I inheirited their belongings and stories. I have carefully stored these "artifacts" and especially cherish the furniture which I have restored, some dated back to 1840. When I first searched graveyards many years ago my kids were learning to read. I would give them names and they would run the rows of memorials searching for their ancestors. The internet has allowed me to process these finds, discover many more leads and meet some wonderful relatives. Anything I can share with anybody about family history is wonderful!!! I would hope that anything I contribute will help someone in their investigations.
I appreciate all the contributions people have made to this website a find inspiration in everyone's work!!
