I am following in the footsteps my mom began long ago in tracing our family ancestry. Thru it, I have enjoyed visiting many cemeteries across the United States for both the sheer beauty of what they offer, and also for tracing long forgotten ancestors I only knew by names. I feel as generations continue, our past rapidly disappears, so I hope to continue to keep them alive by visiting, remembering and documenting their existance.

I freely share what infomation I have of my ancestors in photos and biographies in hopes to connect with other family members that may also share information.

Family names I am tracing are: Bedell, Phillips, Huneke, Schweinfurth, Whiting, Crofoot, Thayer, Burrell, Gill, Adams.

Location of areas family are from: Marion, OH; Ashtabula, OH; Cincinnati, OH; Buffalo (Lockport, Porter, Youngstown, Erie area), NY; Canada and Tampa, FL.
