I began my search for ancestors about 25 years ago and LOVED it. I have gone through run down cemeteries, seen where soldiers that lost their life for our freedom and seen the graves of little infants and wondered why they died so young. The wonderful thing about this search is I found where my great grandparents are buried in a Quaker Church cemetery and that excited me. They didn't know me and I didn't know them but as I stood there I introduced myself as their great granddaughter. I am married and have led my son and husband in places they never dreamed of and they smile and and write down anything that might help others.
I go to cemeteries when weather permits. I hope my research helps others that cannot get to the site where your ancestors are buried and it brings you closer to them. My family gets together once a year and has a good family sit down dinner

with laughter, remembering others, and and wondering who might not be there the next year. Family is good.
I am now retired and have dedicated more time than I ever dreamed to digging up the past.
