I am a grandmother, a descendant of long ago immigrants, who has enjoyed the use of Ancestry.com for more than a decade. My father's family has deep roots in the colonization of America. My mother's family offers some racial & ethnic diversity, which I love.

Lacking pics of my father's family for a photo book that went 5 generations back, I began looking for gravesite photos, and came into the use of FindAGrave.com. Not always having the photos I wanted led me to "relying on the kindness of strangers", and then, paying it forward by becoming an occasional volunteer photographer in the Portland, OR area.
