I became interested in genealogy as a kid when my parents took us to visit "family" in cemeteries back in the 1950s. They began their official research in the 1970s when it meant taking long road trips, hiking through overgrown cemeteries, and pouring over old records to make exciting discoveries. I grab a cup of coffee, put on my most comfortable house slippers, and log onto the Internet to make equally exciting discoveries. I live in Ohio but my family roots are in Tennessee.
