Born and adopted in Maryland by Floridians who were in college there. Moved to Florida at 4 months old with my parents. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Helped my dad research and print his side of the family history. Now working on my mom's side with my cousin. Need to bring my dad's current as I now have grandchildren and one cousin has great-grandchildren. Growing up we had family reunions every year on both sides, but now, most of the family has moved from Central Florida and the only time there is communication is when something special is happening in either family. I miss the old way of living -- you knew your neighbors, attended 12 years of school together and kept in touch with friends you graduated with from high school and college. Times have changed -- and maybe not for the better!
