I am a salt crusted, retired, US Navy Master Chief Petty Officer. I've circumnavigated the world, participated in live nuclear weapons tests, worked in environments that 'normal' people would walk away from and mentored, disciplined or other-wise provided for the well being of the men in my charge. With all this, I was ill-prepared for the question posed by my son... "Who am I and where do I come from?" Thus my genealogy quest began. For this lineage of the WHITE surname I believe I am the senior survivor. So as the clock ticks forward, it's always a pleasure to find some morsel that improves my understanding of, or contribution toward the history of this family. Find-A-Grave has been beneficial for me to that end.
