Bio

I'm a retired Computer Specialist, and have enjoyed working on my family genealogy for several years now. I marvel at how much material is available online now, that formerly required endless trips to research facilities! Just started really using the Find-A-Grave system around July, 2011 and find it a fantastic tool to not only assist others by taking photos of gravestones when requests come in, but have reaped benefits myself, having discovered what became of a gr-gr-aunt that I had frustratingly tried for years to research. Am always thrilled to find old photos of ancestors, and encountering 'new' relatives. Am also a proud member of the SCV, having discovered that my gr-gr-grandfather fought for his South homeland. Also enjoy singing in our church choir, and Gospel band, playing banjo and guitar.
