I have been into genealogy since I was a child. Around 2017, I found out through DNA that my maternal grandfather was not who I was told (non-biological Meier versus biological Morrison), and in 2020 I found out my father was not who I was told. The biological one was a LaFave with his paternal grandfather being a Simonson. 75% of my tree I had worked on in the 1980s and 1990s was genetically incorrect, and my genealogy project began anew in 2020. I am Balcer-51 on WikiTree. You can read more about my tree on my profile there.

After persistent research, I successfully discovered the burial location of several ancestors and created their FG profiles.

I also have been working hard to connect siblings on FG on multiple generations throughout various lines of my tree. As I go along, I've been choosing one I find particularly interesting and delving in depth into their case for interest's sake.

I am not related to the Brockway and Green profiles I manage. I created them while assisting with solving brick walls. You should not hesitate to ask that I transfer the management of those to you, if you are their interested relative.

I have added photos for graves in Minnesota and New York. I am willing to take photos of graves in Staten Island for you and possibly other parts of NY/NJ.
