I've been researching my family tree since 1999. The primary branches are PODBOY/PODBOJ, ROK, PECARO/PECORARO, BORRIS, and SCHULTZ/SCHUBELTOWSKI. I love locating family members and reconnecting with the past.

Striking similarities exist between humans of different races, colors, and beliefs. The similarities that join us far outweigh the differences that separate us. There is unity within our diversity.

My objectives on Findagrave are to link family members, add obituaries or biographies, provide grave or crypt locations, and, with the assistance of countless volunteers, include photos of final resting places. I strive for quality, not quantity.

Until the summer of 2014, I attempted to visit each memorial I created (plus others related to them in some way) on their birth and death dates to commemorate the event. It was my honor and privilege to do so. Unfortunately, life intervened, and I could no longer devote the time required to keep up with the task.
