My interest in family history started when I was a teenager. I had been told that we were related to many famous named people ( I've since discovered these were just family myths). As I got older I found out that My great Grandma(maternal) never really knew her parents , Her Mother passed when she was 11 and her father passed when she was 16. After hearing that I went on the journey of trying to find out everything I could about her family. I have taken both an Ancestry and a 23AndMe DNA test, by doing so I got some answers, but also a lot more questions.

My Goal with Find A Grave is to help connect family members, so that other family researchers will be able to find missing links in their family trees.
