Why do I do Find-A-Grave? I love history and value connections. When I find a new person in my family (or others families), I want them to be connected as much as is possible to their families. I spend a lot of time connecting children with their parents and siblings. Somehow, I feel that validates their lives and connections to others.

My maiden name is Gustafson and I live in Kansas City, Missouri. Major surnames in my family tree are: Gustafson, Stein, Johnson, Eblen, Bennett, Gilliam, Nelson (Nilsdotter), Nissen, Schwartz, Kruse, Wenzel, Hiden, Schwiesow, Wenzel, Steiger and Brixey.
