I love research, especially in genealogy.

My interest in geneaology began when researching my Great-Grandfather, my namesake, who arrived in the States from Ireland prior to the American Civil War. That search remains a journey.

My tools include Ancestry.com (joined 2002) Find-A-Grave, Newspapers.com, city/church records and general Google searches.

I recently found interest in using public records in Ancestry and Newspapers to validate names in abandoned graveyards and updating Find A Grave.
