I recently retired from Federal Government Service where I was a cartographic computer programmer for 32 years. I am an avid reader. I enjoy gardening and fractal art in addition to my family history interests.

At the moment I am transcribing my great-great-grandfather's journal. Most of the people mentioned in it are buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, St. Charles, Missouri. I have found the on-line database of the cemetery records invaluable. The web address is: http://resource.scccld.lib.mo.us/cemetery/index.html
