I am an amateur genealogist that became interested in my family tree in my late teens, then lost interest and took it up again in my late 30's. Now, in my 50's I have lost many precious family members, and the memories they had. My deepest lost was that of my son, Clint, who lost a 3 year battle with Cancer at the age of 29.

I have traced parts of my family back to signers of the Declaration of Independence (four different ones so far,) some presidents, a couple of scoundrels, and of course a couple of "brick walls." That is why I have volunteered for the Find-A-Grave program, I know how much it can mean to someone to find that scrap of evidence that leads you to finding your own lost relatives.
