I started gaining an interest in genealogy when my Aunt allowed me to copy a collection of documents, notes and pictures that she had compiled for her sons (my cousins). The interest became more personal as I lost my mother and her siblings, and my in-laws, and I then realized how little of their history I really knew, and thus my kids would know.

My family names are: Mother's side: Byrne, McCune, Curran; Zeller, Hettel, Seidel, Dowling, Wenzel; Father's side: Kinney, Devine, McKillip, Daly; Schneider, Schaub

In-Laws: Paternal: Gale, Ottley; Maternal: Nowaczyk, Kwiatkowski
