I have been researching my family and extended families for over thirty years now. I particularly relish the hunt for the obscure, especially the hard to find information on my female side of the relationships. Many times, this site gives the critical clue that puts me on the road to discovery. I also appreciate the efforts of others to either correct my errors or add significantly to the information already online. Photos and copies of vital records, obituaries and other sources are much appreciated. If I request a change of someone else's memorial, I am always ready to share information. Questions are welcome, as there is generally a grain of truth in family stories, even if they morph over time.

Ernest Hemingway — 'Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal.'
