Bio

My relatives are : places: (From Canada, NS , MD, TN, TX , CA, MS, La and FL) names: GRAVES, KING, SHARP, DEAN, TURNAGE, BENNETT'I, ASHLEY, BRUNEY, BERGMAN, BRAUN, MCGEE, RETTIE, COLLINS, MACDONALD, CASEY and LIVINGSTON. If it wasn't for Find a Grave I would have never found about 80% of my family. So I have a great respect for all the volunteers that records old grave sites. I was raised by my grandmother, ggrandmother older aunts and uncles. ( all that would have known the answers has passed to soon)You would think that old family story's and a trunk full of photos would be all I need to pass down to another generation. But between hard times, floods and fading photos. I was wrong.. I found myself scrimmaging for names, dates, to match with faces. I try to keep my lost but not forgotten family's info alive (as I find them). Years ago my dear friend and I would search and record alot of old family cemetery s .Now I'm putting mine together ..
