Originally from Ohio, I have lived in New England for more than 30 years. I have a love of history and especially family genealogy and have been researching both my maternal and paternal lines for several years as well as those of my husband's family. Family names that I am researching are Rider, Sharpe, Anderson, Shredl (Sredl), Shea, Kenyon, Carpenter and many others. I am happy to have found the Find A Grave website and with the kind assistance of other members, have photographs of headstones of relatives across the country. I hope to help others by photographing headstones in the local northeastern CT area.
