Started researching family history when I was a teenager (1970's), was very active with research in the early to mid 1990's and entered a lot of data into Brother's Keeper, a family history software. Research was sidelined while raising an active. I retired from my civil service "day job" in 2013 and launched my second career as a professional photographer. The recent passing of my mother, father-in-law and other close family members has reminded me of my need to document life events and has rekindled my interest in genealogy. I discovered Find A Grave and it has been quite helpful in this endeavor so I decided it was time to become a member and make contributions!
